Dedication
I've always been alone.
And the only things that kept me company were the worlds I created.
So this book is dedicated to me, myself and I for all the time I spent living in a different world.

Notes
These are things I kind of just jotted down on my notepad when writing the book to keep for later so I'd remember. It'll tell you some basic information about this world that is important.
"Oriande" -- Is what the elves call the world. Each language has their own word for it but everybody tends to use the Elvish word as elves are the mass population in Oriande. Oriande is a medieval fantasy world and is in no way set to advance into modern technology. Magic exists but doesn't dry up. Elves named a lot of things in Oriande so there are Elvish words everywhere.
"Valhalla" -- Not the same as the one from Norse mythology. Their Valhalla is still considered 'heaven' or the afterlife but it is supposedly a place with no pain, suffering or sadness. There are no deities in this afterlife to look after the deceased or Valkyries who choose the dead. It's said that the dead are supposed to live happily again with everybody they've lost in life. A part of me thinks Valhalla should translate to "Promised Neverland" in the Common tongue. Valhalla is the Elvish name for it.
"Arün" -- The High Kingdom of Elven Guard. Pronounced like 'are-rune'. It is where the three main characters currently live. It is built to the east of a large lake called Lake Adgränia. The city is built in the mountains and is surrounded by a forest so it is densely packed into the flat-ish area of land. The city has around 12,000 elves living in it. Its main exports were magically enhanced weaponry and armor but exporting has toned way down in recent times.
"The High Council" -- A council of eight elves, their purpose is to give advice to the High King of Elven Guard. They're in the Castle of Glass often but don't live there. The Council convenes 2-3 times a week to check on the nature of the kingdom unless there's an emergency. Elves can vote for Council members but the High King has absolute power. The High King can appoint Council members himself.
"The Castle of Glass" -- What the Elven palace is called and where the Ingerman family lives. It's not made entirely of glass but in certain rooms there are massive windows. The roof/ceiling of the throne room is made of stained glass. The color scheme is gold, green and a turquoise blue for the stones it's made of. The castle is made of mostly stone but has metal incorporated into its design. Furniture inside is specifically made of previously dead wood and any fur and upholstery from already deceased animals or plants. The castle gates are open during the day but watched carefully. There are many secret passages through the innards of the castle walls. There are multiple ways to get within the walls of the castle other than the gate that are secret. Only the royal family is actually knowledgeable of the secret passages within the castle. It's one of the oldest buildings in Elven Guard that still stands.
