Falinesti (Arena)

 is a city in the province of Valenwood. It is one of several possible locations that the Eternal Champion may discover in.

History
Falinesti, the walking city of trees, is the largest of Valenwood's graht-oaks, whose magic was invoked at the dawn of recorded history. Falinesti migrates south along the coastal region of the Cape in the summer, and north come Hearth Fire, where it stands sprawling across both banks of the Xylo river.

The Falinesti Incident was one of the most damaging operations carried out by the Blades before the Great War. One of the Blades loremasters, Esbern, was behind the operation which started a fire in Falinesti.

As of the late Third Era, Falinesti has rooted itself for the first time in recorded history.

Appearance
Groves and orchards of lesser trees crowd Falinesti like supplicants before their king. The tree that forms the moving city is extraordinary: gnarled and twisted with a gorgeous crown of gold and green, dripping with vines and shining with sap. At a mile tall and half as wide, it is one of the most magnificent things to be seen, and considering its size, the city moves quickly.

After crossing Falinesti's writhing root system, the ground at the base of the city is littered with leaves and refuse, and from moment to moment a glass or a bone may plummet from far above. An intricate network of platforms anchored to thick vines slip up and down the slick trunk of the city with perfect grace.

Locations
Havel Slump is a district in Falinesti that can be reached two hundred feet in the air at a crook between two mighty branches. Curled webs of moss stretch unevenly across the fork, forming a sharing roof for several dozen small buildings. Everyone in Havel Slump has revelry on Morndas, where drinking, eating, and dancing takes place on an enormous platform tied to the tree, wide enough to be a plaza. Bosmer, true natives clad in colorful leather and bones, can be found here along with a close minority of orcs, as well as hideous ape people known as Imga, and even families of Centaurs.

The Camaron throne of the Bosmer king is somewhere in the highest branches of Falinesti, as are numerous other natural dwellings.
