lynoras
Lynoras is often called the city of magic. and though it is a city that does contain more magic than normal this statement is false. Lynoras however is the center of elven culture and keeps utilizing elven traditions from even before the calamity. the elven city of lynoras is one of the most preserved places of the old world. the descendants of these people were the elves that fled from the calamity into the feywild and came back after the war.
the elven city is the origin of nearly all elves from stormrend and values perfecting you skills more than actual results. the city expects a person to shoose a form of work and try to perfect that the rest of their life. in the noble cicles of the city there are some arts that are at least expected to be proficient with and elves and non-elves alike are often judged by their proficiency in general arts. the arts that are expected to be proficient with are: swordfighting, archery, dancing and singing. some other arts that will give stature but aren't always expected are: painting, arcane arts and calligraphy.
the city's walls are quite something as the walls and it's gates were built with 10th lv magic. a group of elves willingly gave their lives in order to make the gates and walls happen. the walls are natural stone and the gates are buitifull jade gates that are built into them. all along the 30 ft mark of the around 40 ft high walls are built paths of oucroppings on the wall the walk.
the walls itself are around 40 ft high but the walls are natural stone so though the often are 40 ft it can vary between 30 and 50.
inside the city the enitre city is built around a buitifull clear lake called lake qwinilas. the city itself has elven built structures with a lot of jade greens and light moon like blues in it's colours. there are a lot of light and white coloured rocks used. through the entire city's there are also just plants and trees growing. these plants never touch the stone paths. the trees are often gigantic and sometimes houses are even built around the trees or the tree is a house.
Demographics
the city has a interesting demographic as the city does have clear commoners and higher nobles but even commoners in this world would be seen as wealthy and succesfull people in human society's. this is a result of all elves mastering their craft and often banding together in families making them stand stronger together. the few humans, gnomes and halflings that live in the city live on the outskirts or are only here for some political reason.
Government
the monarch of elves is the true leader of the elves and is selected by the previous monarch. this however has only happened once in the elven history. the king has 3 advisors managing diffrent subjects. these advisors are called high counsellor or sel venishu in elvish. in common they are often refered to as high venishu. the venishu are:
- the blademaster (the vellian) the army leader of the forces of lynoras. he controls all of lynoras's military force for the king including the ones that are stantoined through the many camps through the arvandor expanse
- the loremaster (the throlian) the leader/recorder of elven history and culture. this venishu controls a large library full of scrolls controling the entirety of elven history and as a job to preserve elven culture and record any history and culture happening.
- the gold master (the scientlian) the leader of the treasury and economics of the city they are the one that manage the guilds of the city as well as import and export.
Infrastructure
the city's infrastructure if really good. the roads are kept up and make for quick travel. there isn't a big dock but the dock is big enough to handle all boats. going through the river is also often doen by the city as any house at the water has a little boat. there are clover shaped jade gates in the walls and also a gate over the river that can open and close. next to that there are a incredible amount of teleportation circles in the city for wizards who can use them.
