Chrace
Chrace is a realm of Ulthuan, located at the northwestern tip of the island. [4a]
The land is composed of whitish mountains crossed by large parts of dense forests. [1a]

History
Before the Sundering, the lands of Chrace were sparcely inhabited by those who sought peace in nature or time away from civilisation. [3a]
Caledor I was hunting in the forest and was ambushed as he set forth to Avelorn to become the new Phoenix King - he would have been killed if it had not been for a party of hunters. They led him past other Dark Elf patrols and safely to the Inner Sea. Since that day, the Phoenix King has been guarded by cadre of these warriors, cloaked in Lion skin and bearing their signature double handed war axes. [3a]
In 2402 IC, Shades torment the realm for a full year before they are msotly slain by the White Lions. [2a]
End Times
At the beginning of the End Times, magic flowed down from the Annulii mountains and the forests of Charce burned as Daemons used warpfire on the trees to revel in the destruction. [5a]
Inhabitants
Many of the Elves of Chrace are hunters and scouts, and have had to become adept at guerilla warfare as their lands are often invaded by the Druchii. [3a] The settlements are now fortified as the land is often invaded by the Dark Elves, trying to reach the Inner Kingdoms. [4b]
