Gwyllachaightaeryll-
The many spire'd castle of Corellon Larethian, his physical home while in residence of Arborea, home of Arvandor. Though the Gods of the Pantheon are rather reclusive and tend to allow the Eldar, or Elves, to govern among themselves... They have been known from time to time to visit the realm of Arvandor, and as such they have palaces of grandiose splendor, and none more splendid that Corellon Larenthian's castle of glittering spires. Many countless generations have come and gone since the last Eldar has been allowed within it's sacred walls.
Enstad-
The chosen city of Corellon Larethian, it rests at the base of his Castle in Arvandor, shrouded in the mists and soft roar of countless waterfalls.
Population: 2,371
Attractions: Great Library of Truth, Museum of Lost Time, and the great Bard Colegium.
Mineral Deposits: Gold and Silver
Main Trade: Living within the trees and never seeing the ground but for leaving the city, the people of Enstad do not plant nor harvest like other elvish communities, instead they fish and gather the many types of moss that are abundant around them. Many rare fungi and various amphibians are found here and no where else in all or Arborea.
Main Import: Fruits and Vegetables. Everything from the simplest bean to the most exotic fruits, the people of Enstad trade their Moss and Amphibian bounty for things that they can not have within their natural climate, making for rich bartering among themselves and other larger cities.
Climate: Sunny, though never truly dry, the constant mists from the falls keep everything out of doors quite moist. Winter comes every year in it's turn, often freezing the falls completely, causing trade to naturally decline as the Elder fall to their winter reserves to see them through the cold months.
General: Enstad is what would easily be called a City of the Falls, or a Village in the Clouds, both of which have been used to describe the city itself. Known as one of the chosen cities of Corellon, those that reside within are often seekers and bards, knights and librarians. Each person is dedicated to wiping out the Orc and Drow races, to gathering up the lost information and artifacts of the Eldar, and creating the most beautiful music. Knights and Bards of the highest caliber are often said to come from Enstad, and each person dwelling within has dedicated their entire lives to the pursuit of intelligence and the eradication of all Eldar enemies.
Despite the information and good living conditions found within Enstad, the population remains small, partially due to lack of natural resources but more in part with the people themselves. They are known to be almost obsessive with their studies, and few if any ever leave the city, let alone marry or have children. As such, much of the population is built from those who come to attend the places of learning, others simply to be closer to their chosen God.
No Royal Family as of yet has taken a seat in the City, it is freely governed not by a single head person, but by a group of Elders who both make and maintain the laws of Enstad.
