This is home to clan Chossum, Alfheim’s mercantile elves. Centrally located and on the direct river route to Alfheim Town, Desnae is known for its warehouses, (built on the ground – even the elves know when it’s too much work to haul something up into a tree only to have to lower it down again), shops and counting houses. The character of the city is best expressed as neat and tidy. The industrious masters of elven commerce tread a fine line between conservative shabbiness and the sort of gaudy display which wastes money. A few non-elven traders are occasionally invited up-river from Alfheim Town to visit the real heart of elven commerce.
