Jalova is the ancestral home of the Kel elves, a culture defined by its dignity and a complex social hierarchy. Devastated by the Fall of Wilder, all of its people became stricken with the curse that befell those of elven ancestral heritage. In the worst cases, this resulted in feral elves, unnatural, violent creatures who corrupted the Druidic magics that once granted them eternal life.

Jalova became a shadow of its former glory and was forced into vassalization at the founding of Grand Nostridan. Supported by the new city-state government, it has only just managed to survive, slowly losing what once made it a kingdom.
