Elvendale

**Elvendale** is a magical world inhabited mainly by elves. This realm is also home to dragons, pegasi, and other mystical creatures. It is the main location of the LEGO Elves series. After inheriting her grandmother's amulet, a portal appeared before Emily Jones, and she found herself in this wondrous dimension. With the help of Azari Firedancer, Farran Leafshade, Aira Windwhistler, and Naida Riverheart, she was able to get back home to Earth. She now comes and goes from her world to Elvendale whenever she pleases. Visiting often, the five friends have many adventures across this fantastical landscape.

For images and official descriptions of these locations, see the Map Archives.

### Season 1

#### Enki Island

Enki Island is a rocky and sandy island with small hidden beaches, turquoise blue water, streams of small fish and cheeky monkey-like creatures.

#### Izdur Ocean

The Izdur Ocean stretches beyond Enki Island, as far as the eye can see. Mermaids are known to inhabit the ocean. Deep beneath the waves, the water key was hidden inside an oyster. Emily and her friends journeyed across the ocean to find it, sailing on Naida's houseboat.

#### Lava Fields

The Lava Fields are a nice, warm home to tropical flowers and fiery animals. Johnny Baker resides here. His pastry bakery is located in the Lava Fields, as well as the fire key sought by Emily and her friends. The fields are full of lavafalls.

#### Leaf Lands

Covered in lavish forests, the Leaf Lands are where Farran has his tree house, and is where the portal from Emily's world is located. Emily and her friends often stay in Farran's tree house when taking a break from their adventures.

#### Red Mountain

This is where the main 5 chased Miku to get the wind key. It sits to the right of the Sky Castle. Around that area, there is an old windmill that Emily and her friends got supplies from to make the pegasus sleigh. They also met Starshine and Rufus near the windmill.

#### Sky Castle

The Sky Castle is where Skyra lives and guards the portal to the human world. Emily Jones and her friends were able to convince Skyra to allow Emily passage to and from her world and Elvendale.

#### Sparkle Rock

Sparkle Rock is a luminous landform made up of emerald stones and other crystals. Within the crystal hollow of Sparkle Rock was the earth key, which was guarded by Miss Spry. On their journey, Emily Jones and the elves discovered the earth key inside the crystals.

#### Venti High Hill

Venti High Hill is located north of the Leaf Lands. Aira's workshop is perched high in the mountaintops there.

#### Other

Actan Range: the Sky Castle rests on the highest mountain here.

Desertlands

Forest of Deep Secrets

The Great Mountain of Silad: This mountain lies just south of the Sky Castle.

Highland of Helyan

Ivy Beach and Blue Water Bay

### Season 2

#### Abyss

This bottomless pit is where the main 5 encountered a brainwashed Zonya. It's also where Aira met Gust after diving after the water egg and getting stranded on a ledge below. Its bridge is now broken.

#### Cursed Crystal Canyon

Home to the evil elf witch Ragana, these gloomy badlands give a creepy chill to anyone who enters - most likely because of the Shadow Fountain's dark magic. Ragana's Magic Shadow Castle is located in this canyon. The Crystal Mine is down below the castle.

#### Diamond Peaks

The Starlight Inn can be found in this mountainous land. The inn is run by Sira Copperbranch.

#### Driftwood Forest

Concealed within this forest is the Elvendale School of Dragons. The school was founded by Tidus Stormsurfer, who trains and cares for his dragon students.

#### Lava Cave

The Lava Cave is where Emily and her friends stopped to eat and sleep on their journey to Ragana's Castle. It may be near the Cursed Crystal Canyon, but it does not have much dark magic in it.

#### Lazuli River

This river runs through the Driftwood Forest. Water dragons love to play here and it is rumored to be protected by water spirits.

#### Forgotten Valley

The Secret Market Place is located in this valley. A mysterious fog surrounds the marketplace, making it difficult to find. Those who do find it have been known to forget its location quickly after leaving.

#### Sacred Dragon Cove

The Dragon Sanctuary lies here, on an island in the middle of the sea. The sanctuary is a safe haven for all dragons.

#### Whispering Willows

These enchanted, pink-leaved trees border the Abyss, and keep the dark magic contained in the Cursed Crystal Canyon. All magical creatures respect their need for peace and quiet to keep evil in check, so you won’t find much wildlife here.

### Season 3

#### Cronan's Fortress

The Goblin King's Fortress is full of hidden rooms, secret passageways, and underground tunnels. Cronan lives here and so did his mother, Quartzine, until she became imprisoned in her amulet. The fortress is often visited by his goblin servants.

#### Crystal Cave

Blubeary and Lil' Blu live here beside a waterfall. Sophie stumbled upon the cave and the bears shortly after arriving in Elvendale. It is slightly south-east of the Guardian Tree. The bears and other creatures must be careful because the goblins sometimes use dynamite in the area to harvest crystals.

#### Goblin Village

As its name suggests, the Goblin Village is the home of the goblins. Most of the buildings here are smaller than average, to accommodate the goblins' short statures.

#### Mr. Spry's Shop

Nestled in a forest clearing is Mr. Spry's Shop. A variety of foods are on sale, but Mr. Spry would rather trade for a fun, shiny trinket than receive boring old coins. It was here, beside the shop, that Sophie Jones was captured.

#### Shimmering Woods

Once a safe, happy place for all creatures who lived there, these woods were ruled by Rosalyn Nightshade until the evil Goblin King overthrew her. Now it is full of frightening danger. Rosalyn's Healing Hideout is the only remaining place in the woods that is untouched by darkness.

#### Tempest Highlands

Covered with many raging tornadoes, this plateau of land is a dangerous place for anyone who wanders too close. Travelers must be careful - the violent winds are powerful and make it rough to travel by air or ground.

#### Other

Emerald Mountains: This mountain range lies to the west of the season 3 locations.

Emerald River: The Emerald River runs around the outskirts of the Emerald Mountains.

Goblin Forest: This forest grows around the Goblin Village and Cronan's castle.

Riptide Reef: This whirlpool churns in the ocean off the east coast of the season 3 locations.

#### Elvenstar Tree

The Elvenstar Tree is a kind of tree house where Lumia lives. Beside it is a portal to the Shadow World.

## Portals

* Emily discovered the portal that leads from Earth to Elvendale in her grandmother's garden. This portal can only be unlocked with the amulet that Emily inherited from her grandmother. It is mentioned in an issue of LEGO Club Magazine that the portal is in the garden's largest tree.
* It is mentioned in the book Quest for the Keys that the tree with the portal in it is an oak tree. In Celtic Mythology, oak trees are associated with immortality. In the ancient Celtic language, the word for oak tree is “duir” which is also the word for “door.”
* The portal that leads from Elvendale to Earth is located at Sky Castle. In order for this portal to work, all four elemental keys are required, as well as Skyra and her staff.
* In the series finale, Emily is able to open the tree portal to get home and doesn't need to go to Skyra's. It is unknown if this is a result of Emily's new light magic or if it's just an inconsistency with season 4.

## Trivia

### Astronomy

* There is a globe with at least 5 continents on it at the elementary school.  This means that the world of Elvendale is likely a spherical planet, similar to Earth.
* Elvendale has at least one moon and a constellation of a dragon.
* Lumia has a star chart of the Sagittarius constellation at the Elvenstar Tree.  This indicates that at least some (if not all) of the constellations in Elvendale are the same as on Earth.
* Based on One Is More Fun, it seems that Elvendale has the same calendar system as Earth, since Ragana recognized the months and dates in Emily's book.

* It is implied that some species of animals that can be found on earth aren't found in Elvendale, such as platypuses.

### Crystals

* All of Elvendale's elemental magic is contained in the guardian creatures' crystals.

* Three locations were named after specific stones – the Lazuli River, the Diamond Peaks, and the Emerald Mountains/River. Two of these stones were mentioned in the magazine info.
* Two characters were named after specific stones – Sapphire and Quartzine. One quartz variety, amethyst, was mentioned in the magazine info, but there are several other quartz varieties as well, including Aventurine, Citrine, and Rose Quartz.
* Based on the location names and the character names, this indicates that at least some of the stones in Elvendale are the same as on Earth.
* The Guardian Tree's crystals power the forest's magic and keep everything in balance. They are also capable of powering portals.
* Emily's amulet, Skyra's staff, and Lumia's staff all have blue gems, and can all open portals.
	+ Emily's amulet opens a portal to Elvendale. It can also amplify her friends' powers, break locks, vanquish shadow creatures, etc.
	+ Skyra's staff opens a portal to Earth. Also capable of other magic in the books.
	+ Lumia's staff opens a portal to the Shadow World.

* Birthdays are celebrated in Elvendale, which appear to involve cake and presents, judging by The Struggle Is Real and In The Shadows.
* The elves didn't know about Christmas or Halloween until Emily's arrival.

### Games

* Naida loves board games and plays them with Delphia.
* Azari, Farran, Aira, and Naida played Hide and Seek when they were little. In Never Cave, Farran counted to a thousand, which is typically a lot longer than the human version of the game.
* Tidus plays a card game with 2 unnamed friends.
* Aira plays a game called "Mermaid Tag."

### Languages

* Cronan said a French word once.
* The goblins have said a few words in Spanish.
* Some elves have accents, such as Rosalyn.
* There are several sets of runic alphabets in Elvendale. At least 4 different ones are shown, one per season. The runes from season 1 have an official key, and the season 4 runes have been decoded. The runes from seasons 2 and 3 are indiscernible.
	+ Ragana is able to read the English in Emily's event planner scrapbook. Similarly, Emily can read the Dragon Book, even though it appears to be written in runes.
	+ The Elvish symbol converter says: "Most elves understand your language."
	+ One of the quizzes suggests an Elvish dictionary would be a perfect gift for Emily, so it's possible that Emily may have studied up on the runes prior to season 2.
