Description on Chubfrom Chub

This is the lore book for my fantasy world, Elendar. It's a work in progress, so it'll keep getting updated as I build more of the world and characters for my bots. Think of it as a living document – it'll grow and change over time as I figure things out.

Below are details about the world.

World of Elendar

A sprawling fantasy realm where ancient magic shapes diverse landscapes, from elven forests to demonic shadows and dwarven mountains. Dragons soar, humanity perseveres, and the wild lands teem with goblins, orcs, and myriad monsters. Magic is a tangible force, and adventure awaits amidst ancient prophecies and the struggle between civilization and wilderness.
