Corcoa

Corcoa is an elven village located in the south-western regions of The Octarine Wood. Having been burned down to the ground in an accident some fifty years ago, Corcoa has barely rebuilt itself to a village - much less the great town it used to be. Corcoa is the birthplace of Tiggles.

Description
Built around a summer oak tree, Corcoa is a village of forest folk and Sylvanus worshippers. Having rebuilt itself from the ground up some fifty years ago, Corcoa is now a site of holiness for those who wish to pay tribute to the forest around them. The village is divided into three parts, the village center as well as a lower and upper ring of housing and amenities. Outside the village lies stables and farming lands.

Village Center
At the base of Corcoa's vast pines lies a two-tiered town center. At the entrance to the village a small ring of shops and The Dreaming Elf Inn circle a cobblestone courtyard with stairs leading up to the second tier of the village centre. Ascending the stairs takes you to Slyvanus' statue and a large courtyard surround by stone archways. The Town Hall faces onto this courtyard; home to all goings on in town, Corcoan citizens can often be found here putting forth their ideas to the elected council.

Lower Ring
Connected to the trees in a ring around the center are dozens of homes and a few basic stores. The majority of civilians of Corcoa live and work here, with tanners, hunters and baristas being the most common professions.

Upper Ring
A ring suspended closer to the canopy of Corcoa's pines houses Aien Luxidor and other lasting elven families. With finer wood and marble untouched by the fires of fifty-years past the Upper Ring serves as a natural spot for the wood elves of Corcoa. The Growing Altar can be found on the eastern wing, protruding out over the lower ring on a mossy outcrop.

Demographics
Having only recently been rebuilt, Corcoa is home to what remains of its population since the fire fifty years ago. The population is mostly elven (91%) with minorities of humans (6%) and half-elves (3%). It is rare of dwarves and orcs to make it this far into the Octarine Wood.

As a place of worship and balance, quite a few notable individuals reside in this pleasant part of the Octarine Wood.

The Dreaming Elf
A name that is well suited to the ongoings in this part of the Octarine Wood - the Dreaming Elf offers Corcoa's inhabitants the chance to forget about the troubles of yesteryear and settle down for a nice glass of red wine.

The Growing Altar
Situated in the upper ring, the growing altar is a place of respite for many in the town. Allowing them to make an offering to the forest and to Sylvanus, many travel here each day to feel close to their god.

The Town Hall
Twice a week the village meet here with their elected officials to discuss further plans for renovation and building Corcoa back to the well-established town it once was.
