Kakureta Machi

Kakureta Machi (隠れた街), or the Hidden City,  is the political center of the Elvish people where the Ever-Living Empress (不死の皇后陛下 Fushi no Kougou Heika) holds court. It is located at the heart of the Empress's Forests (皇后の森 Kougou no Mori), with its white buildings and sloping roofs visible from the edge of the forest some nights with the perfect moon. Those who have sought it themselves without the guidance of Elves and survived, swear that it moves within the trees. They say its red roofs were visible against the clear moon, yet even marching for a full season in that direction, following its shadow, they only found themselves at the far border of the forest.

These fools, it is said, were the fortunate ones, as any who venture to the city without the express consent of the Empress are slaughtered on sight, whether the be strangers or High Elven Nobles.
