Known affectionately and appropriately as "Thunder Home," Jumala is the capital city of Kotime, and the seat of government for all elves. Much of the great metropolis is built into and on top of the giant trees of the Thunderglade rain forest. It is situated on the southwestern shore of Lake Rautavesi.
The Grand Temple of Ukko, chief deity of the elves, sits on the southeastern shore of Lake Rautavesi, about a day's ride west of Jumala.
The now-destroyed lair of Vossaprus was directly north across the lake from Jumala.
