A High Elven city located on Thestra and believed to be lost.
It appears that some disaster struck the High Elf race many years ago, before the Orc War. From the ceremony described by Thelus Duron, this event may have involved the city of Leth Verael falling into the sea around the Bay of Despair. The elves were involved in the construction of Leth Nurae when Orcs and Goblins attacked the city.
[edit] Relevant Lore
"On the fifth day of the week, at sundown, I followed a procession of elves through Leth Nurae. As we moved through the city, more elves joined the march until we reached the bank of the river. In unison, the elves knelt and began to sing. It was the most beautiful of sights to behold. Later, I asked Velereth what this occasion meant. He replied that Leth Nurae mourns and remember the memory of its ancestors that were lost in Leth Verael as well as those who perished in the battles with the Orcs and Goblins."

"I witnessed a unique rite of passage while in Leth Nurae. When a youth of Leth Nurae Decides on a career path, they are asked to make a journey to the Bay of Despair. The trip is made alone and with minimal supples. The only required item is a cermonial water urn. Upon reaching the bay, they fill the urn with the water of the sea that claimed their ancestors. The urn is then emptied into the pool in Leth Nurae. It is believed that this will enable the spirits of their ancestors to dwell in the elven home."
