E'velenor

We have stood since before the stars and moons held their places in the sky. This city and its people will stand till the sky fall and the ground crumbles at our feet. -Aralias d'Salvi

E’velenor is the oldest standing city in the whole of the Material Plane. Build originally by the Eladrin to mirror their original home in the Feywilds, E’velenor now stands as the cultural and technological hub of the world. Today the city has expanded well beyond the original confines of the city and now spanning across 11 major districts and several satellite settlements. This has led to E’velenor to become the most populated area in the world.
The Original City was build surrounding a planner portal, the same portal the Eladrin used to migrate to this world. From it flows magical energy that has become the life blooded of not only the city by all Arnadell. This energy has been harnessed and studied over the ages, it fuels the countless modern inventions and has become a crucial part of elven culture. The Salvi Tower stands surrounding the portal to collect and transfer energy across the continent. Because it is home to such a vital natural resource countless wars have been fought over control over E’velenor. It has changed hands many times throughout its life, causing some drift from the original Eladrin ideals of the city. Today, however, E’velenor stands a free independent city-state governing itself as it sees fit.

E’velenor is governed by an elective city council each of the 11 districts has a set number of councilors that are chosen from by residents of their home district. The number of councilors as the district has is based mainly on population with some exceptions for areas with high minority populations, where they receive a council seat to represent the best interest of the minority groups. On average most districts have 2 council seats, with some only having one and some having as many as 3. In total there are 21 council seats. The city council sees establishing laws, determines how to use resources (taxes), and also appoints high officers of the city.

History

Shortly after the creation of the material world portals opened connecting the worlds. From a moderate-sized portal, a group of Eladrin exited. They left all they had known in the Feywilds to create a new life in the newly created Material Plan. On the site, they exited they built a city to use as an Eladrin foothold in the material world. They named the city E'velenor after the great city in the Feywild. Over the millennia the city grew and the original Eladrin became the elves the modern world today.
