The Lost North

Following the Great Sundering, the Elves fled to the north to found a new Kingdom. They fled with a seed from the God Tree and sought to wrought a new forest.
This Kingdom was to be called Vedestel and was the last home of the Elves.
200 years after the founding of Vedestel, the God Tree sapling had still yet to grow more than a few metres.
Now getting desperate, the Elves hatched a plan. They used the last of their magic and knowledge to capture a Plague Daemon and trap within Vedestel. Over the next 20 years, the Elves siphoned off power from the Daemon and twisted it. Instead of the plague causing death, it now created life.
The Elves grew the Great Tree and a Great Forest around it.
For 200 years, the tree continued to grow and the forest spread far and wide resulting in a Golden Age for the Elves.
This Golden Age ended when the Daemons finally found their Brethren. Despite Daemons constantly warring and competing with each other, they came together and unleashed their full power upon Vedestel.
The Hydras ripped the great tree from the roots and the Greater Daemons scorched the landscape. 
Now, the area that was once Vedestel is a frozen tundra wasteland. The evidence of Vedestal is still there, though the ages had crumbled away most of the foundations, the roots of the Great Tree still reach out from the Earth.
Only 1,000 Elves survived the Daemonic War, these Elves bred with Humans and watched their bloodline diminish or they fled into the forests across the realm and tried to construct smaller versions of their once great city using seeds of the Great Tree. 
These trees never grew properly and can still be found across the realm. They are known as the Stunted Trees.
