Tel was one of the original four cities of Hala. It was destroyed along with the others, but was rebuilt by the god Kord. The people of Tel were grateful and have dedicated the city to Kord. The city is built in the trees of the Tel Woods and has a wooden wall that protects the main gates from attacks from the Felmorian ruins. Beneath it an ancient system purifies the city's water.
