A town located in a woodland clearing in the Wild Lands, Dartha was burned down by a group known as The Cleaners in 800 CE. Over the years, the surrounding forest has been overtaking the charred ruins, breathing new life into them and creating a sort of natural shrine for those who lost their lives to the fire.
In the years before its destruction, Dartha was populated by a tight-knit and somewhat reclusive clan of wood elves who placed a heavy emphasis on the values of community, family, home, and nature. Most of the clan were homebodies who only left the village when absolutely necessary.
The location has been preserved from development by the neighboring town of Barleystead as a way to honor the legacy of its people.
