Ruane Forest

Ruane is a forest independent from the great Canada forest geographically and politically. It lies south from the Nozhan with which it shares a border.

Background
800 years ago, the first founder Eva unites most of the elves who were oppressed by humans and creates the Great Kanada Forest from scratch thanks to abundant crop stone. But some of the elves perhaps the most traditionalists refuse Eva's leadership. They depart from the Canada and establish them self in another forest and lived secluded from everyone even their fellow elf cousins.

Education
A very long time ago, the warriors from Ruane were extremely skillful and powerful but according to Glenys it is now a thing of the past. The society is very patriarchal as the women are forbidden to be warrior. In much of aspects Ruane elves are the mirror of the Hilk Church : they are extremely xenophobic for non-elf beings (even dark elves and beastmen are not spared). They are persuaded from their superiority which leads them to their almost downfall during the Hilk crisis. Without Lalatoya's help, they would have been wiped out by the undead monsters. It is highly stated from Chiyome that Ruane has technologically regressed with centuries.

Politics
Without a doubt the most secluded elvish society we can find on the northern continent. The elves from Ruane apply a strict isolationist politic which forbids entry for non-elf being in the principal village Dorant. When the Hilk crisis occurs, most of the elders proposes to just sit and watch the humans fight each other and then occupy the future desert lands, unaware the Hilk church wants to exterminate the non-humans beings completely.

Great Canada Forest
The relationships with the main forest are very cold. Ruane looks their cousins with disdain for sheltering the remaining dwarves and accepting the dark elves. However they share a common cause and are from the same species. On the other side, the elves from the Canada forest do not have a good opinion of Ruane for their strict politic. They maintain communication every 5 years. The dark elves hates Ruane for their xenophobic view of the world and patriarchal society, even Ariane who is a great defender of the elf cause hates Ruane.
