Parke

Parke was an Elven forest-city that was created in the year 12,000 BC by an Elven wielder who wanted to create a thriving metropolis for her people that worked in harmony with the enormous trees in the middle of the kingdom of Zhirriz.

Her efforts resulted in a sprawling ring-shaped city, with three distinct sectors (Residents, Trade, and Farmland) separated by raging rivers. In the centre of this city was the Central Tree, the home of government and commerce for Zhirriz.

The Attack on Parke
In the year 11,232 BC, Parke came under attack from a black dragon and a number of its human, lizardfolk, and kobold followers.

Queen Jauul was on her way out of the city at the time of the attack and managed to barely escape via river before the destruction began, with the dragon raining fire from above, and its followers slaughtering citizens in the streets.

From outside the city, Jauul ordered scouts to watch the three city gates and the three waterways that provided the city's only entry and exit points. All were either destroyed or being heavily guarded by dragon-loyals, preventing escape from those citizens who were not lucky enough to evacuate in the early stage of the attack.

Those who had managed to escape (primarily via the South Gate, which was the last to be barred), made a mass pilgrimage to the neighbouring city, Yorm. Ahead of these refugees, Queen Jauul sent a messenger to announce the news of the attack, beseech their safe entry into the city, and to request as much urgent military aid as possible.
