Phainon

Just as its patron Kronus was one first among the Olympians Phainon was once first among all cities. It is the administrative and industrial hub for all the richest farmlands in the entire continent. Enormous threshing and harvesting constructs pass through its many gates each day delivering freshly harvested food to be preserved, prepared, and exported to the whole Elven Empire. In days past these were distributed to tightly organized rationing boards for consumption by the military and urban citizens of the empire. Now it is mostly deposited into vast rotting piles where the distribution hubs once were, only great mutant cannibals known as the gorgers or hungerers still eat from these piles. Most others content themselves with household food magically prepared by their automata. This fuels the Springtime Wars, as these household food producers can barely feed their current occupants, so all new blood must be pushed out.
The city itself is composed of endless warehouses, abattoirs, smokehouses, tanneries, and mills. The greater potion of these facilities have broken down have fill with rot with each new delivery. Though there still remain a few whose automation remains intact, homunculi and automata producing food for the great rotting mounds.

Phainon's nobility are concentrated in the city's center, kept safe from the sickening sweet smells of food processing with magically cleaned air. They live in gleaming silver towers surrounded by effluvium. Greatest of them is the central temple of Kronus which also serves as the house hold of Phainon's royal line. Its king once ruled from a throne at the feet of thirty foot tall golden statue of the harvest god.
