The Elemental Gate of Air is located near the highest peaks of the Iron Mountains. Aeolrah is built underneath the gate, with structures built on mountain side outcroppings and on sheer cliff faces.
Due to the community's proximity to the Elemental Gate it has a high concentration of Air Genasi compared to the rest of Exorsia.
Contrary to the rest of the Iron Mountains, Aeolrah is not cold and uninhabitable; it is quite tempered, though the powerful winds cause a chill. Through harnessing the gate's energy and magic the protectors of Aeolrah have created a lush and pleasant environment noted by the abundance of cherry blossom trees.
Aeolrah is the smallest Elemental Gate community due to the extreme difficulty in travelling through the Iron Mountains to get to here.
Government:
The settlement is governed by the Council of Aeolus, a council of elder citizens that manage the wellbeing and security of the population as well as being the primary figureheads for any foreign affairs and for the settlement's many religious and cultural celebrations.
Defence:
Aeolrah is defended by the SkyGuard, a garrison of highly trained soldiers that are primarily responsible for defending the entrance of the Elemental Gate of Air against any unwanted visitors.
Commerce:
Aeolrah has no official trade with the outside world due to its isolated nature, all produce is created and grown locally.
Geography:
Aeolrah is built up upon the tall mountain bluffs of the Iron Mountains, buffeted by strong winds that threaten to throw you back to the earth.
A haphazard collection of simple homes and buildings made of stone, leather and wood are spread across the more stable parts of the mountainside, alongside a menagerie of cherry blossom trees whose petals dance in the wind.
Due to Aeolrah’s height the air is quite thin, making it difficult to breathe for visitors.
