Toldor

Toldor is a fictional settlement featured in the fantasy novel "The Lost King" by author Elara Vance. It is depicted as a small, isolated village located in the shadowed valleys of the Grey Peaks. The inhabitants of Toldor are known for their self-sufficiency and their deep-seated traditions, which have remained largely unchanged for centuries. The village economy is primarily based on subsistence farming and the mining of a rare, phosphorescent ore found in the nearby caves. This ore is said to possess unique properties, though its true nature is a subject of local folklore and speculation.

Historically, Toldor has maintained a policy of strict neutrality in regional conflicts, preferring to remain undisturbed by the affairs of larger kingdoms. This isolation has contributed to a sense of mystery surrounding the village, with few outsiders having ever visited or documented its existence. The narrative of "The Lost King" introduces Toldor as a potential refuge or a place of hidden knowledge for the protagonist. The village elder, a wise but enigmatic figure, plays a pivotal role in guiding characters through the challenges they face, offering cryptic advice and revealing fragments of the region's forgotten history. The unique environment of Toldor, characterized by perpetual twilight and unusual flora, adds to its distinct atmosphere within the novel.
