Foreg (Eufez)

The city of Foreg was an inland elven city in the midland region of the Gregorian Peninsula (today known as Cornelia), and an important capital of the Webfoot elves.

The gigantic(99) ruins of the elven city Foreg are well preserved and protected by the Cornelian state. The city was large enough that it required nine gates, and is the symbol of how advanced the elves were when the Oxxams arrived. Foreg is believed to have housed at least 350,000 inhabitants during its peak, and was destroyed in 953 during the Oxxam wars in the Battle of Foreg.

History
The elves of the Georganian peninsula were highly advanced. It has been shown that the elves had domesticated the 'Gigas worm' and utilized it in agriculture before the Gigas ever did centuries later. The Georganians also used the Gigas worm to create Foreg (a city on the northern coastline near Duchess Lake). It is believed that the Gigas worms were used to create tunnels underground and form the foundations of the city.

Ruins
The site was rediscovered by a Eufezian archaeology team in 1944 and remains a major tourist attraction for the kingdom today. The city's oldest foundations have been dated to 95. The ruins include stone houses made of basalt and granite, paved roads, canals and fountains, and a large number of statues, some depicting what might be described as elven women and men, although many have no clear definition of gender. It has been proposed that the city's downfall was its degeneracy and immorality, as well as that it was actually a city which grew to be too big for its own good, with all its inhabitants having to live within the walls because it had grown so large. Many elves have looked at their removal into Elfheim as a self appointed exile for the immorality of their ancestors.

Battle of Foreg
See Battle of Foreg

The Battle of Foreg was a large and pivotal battle early on in the Oxxam Wars. The siege of the city of 350,000 lasted four months, and resulted in a surrender of elven forces. The defeat represents one of the first major losses on the side of the elves. Part of the defeat has been put onto the Elven Gilas Ounce who was extravagantly unoccupied with the siege.
