The capital of
Jubileum is an ancient elven city on the northern back of Lake Jubilation. Due to the impossibly tall spires and the neon lights that adorn them, the city is also known as "the Luminous Towers".
Elves, especially the ancient high elven families, form the majority of the city's residents, but there are also numerous stout
halflings hailing from the northern Falucian Plains that have moved into the city. Humans form the third major population, having descended from the slaves kept in the ancient elven kingdom of Iovillon. The different species inhabiting the city are quite segregated to their own districts.
Notable locations

The tallest towers in the city are located on this district, some rising 500 feet into the air. The towers house the most influential high elven families, who often use magic and air vessels to travel between the spires.

Le Hume
The seediest part of the city is on the east where the River Luce flows into the lake, and it is inhabited by mostly humans. Historically, it was where human slaves of the high elves were kept. All the waste produced by the city is directed into the river, so it is very unsanitary. Due to the smell, the district is often jokingly referred to as "Le Fume".
