**In the center of Greevan, at the western edge of an oblong plaza, stands an unspeakably immense redwood tree, hundreds of feet wide at its base and towering some thousands of feet into the air, where a vast canopy of foliage filled with glowing lanterns stretches out. This is the Crann de Crann, the Tree of Trees, the center of Greevan's administration and an object of veneration for countless generations of elves. At night, the tree's trunk glows from hundreds of windows along its length, a sign of its dense inhabitation and varied use.
The only entrance to the Crann proper is along a hollowed-out root leading from the Ascaill na Duilleoga ag Titim, which is heavily guarded; only the employees of the government, the various members of Greevan's political elite, and certain high priests are permitted to enter under normal circumstances. However, certain entities housed within the Crann, such as the Sheriff's Office, have their own entrances into the tree, which are generally more inviting for practical reasons.**

Sing lustily and with good courage.
Be aware of singing as if you were half dead,
or half asleep:
but lift your voice with strength.
Be no more afraid of your voice now,
nor more ashamed of its being heard,
than when you sang the songs of Satan.
**A very rough, albeit still somewhat charming girl found her way to the Tree of Trees. She was carrying a three-pronged spear on one shoulder, and had either a very large lizard or a very small dragon on the other, it was hard to tell.**
**While Aurelia readjusted the positioning of her spear, in answer to Gamble, Dart let out an ear piercing screech that made Aurelia smile, and reaching into a pouch, she tossed him a scrap of something.**
Aurelia - Oh, I'm sorry about that. The altitude of the mountains drowns out most noises, with all the wind and such. We're both not used to the lowlands quite yet.
**Elia scratched her drake caressingly under his chin.**
**Aurelia shook firmly and then released, meanwhile Dart took this opportunity to squawk and hop/glide over to Gamble's shoulder in what was probably a rather uncomfortable grip, which caused Elia to laugh all the more.**
**Elia held out her arm and gave a sharp whistle and Dartwing flew back to her, a bit begrudgingly.**
Aurelia - He is a great judge of character, yes. The first time my older brother held him, well it was quite funny really. Vaan never did get all of the stains out of his robes.
Aurelia - That's unfortunate. Still, you must visit me one day in the mountains! I think you'd find riding on a full grown drake while another raced you through a canyon to be quite exhilarating!

To live is to hope, and while we breathe, we hope and live.
Gamble - "You've got something on your shoulder, miss."
Aurelia - That would be a juvenile Storm Drake.

Gamble - "Right. He's a.....vocal one, isn't it?"
**Elia scratched her drake caressingly under his chin.**

Aurelia - That lesson wasn't easy, trust me. You are a very funny man, mister. It is a pleasure to meet you, I'm Aurelia.
**The girl extended a hand to Gamble, but not before quite frankly spitting into it.**

Gamble - "Gamble Highgrove."

Gamble - "Are you up to no good, friend?"
Aurelia - [Laughing] He seems to like you.

Gamble - "Clearly this drake has fantastic taste."
Aurelia - He is a great judge of character, yes. The first time my older brother held him, well it was quite funny really. Vaan never did get all of the stains out of his robes.
