Citadelis, Capital of Atithe (Sit-ah-dell-is)
CITADELIS
Citadelis is an incredibly large city that can be confusing to outsiders. Built in a complete circle, the large stone walls jutting from the ground protect the streets filled to the brim with shops and stores. In the very center, the tall and also circular tower of The Atithe Center rises higher than even the city walls. Running beneath the entire city is a large river, providing the citizens with fresh waters from wells places strategically around the streets. Larger establishments and homes even have their own private well for personal use. As for the layout of the city, shops are seemingly chaotically placed with very few streets actually able to hold the title of a street instead of an alleyway. Nevertheless, the city is still bustling with life and home of the proclaimed "best-of-the-best" artisans, potion makers, bakers, fortune tellers, and more. Prices in the city can be very high, making it only truly available to the more affluent citizens of Launtrel. The city prides itself on being the height of civilization and is heavily patrolled by the City Guard.BRIEF HISTORY
Citadelis was one of the first capitals to be built when the migrants first came to Launtrel. Every citizen who decided to settle in Atithe worked to complete the city under the guidance of The Atithe Center, who started out as a small group of Sorcerers, Warlocks, and Wizards. Because of this, Citadelis became the most prominent city in Launtrel and quickly built itself to be a hub for the best. When the city was finished being built the most prominent leaders in its construction was invited to live there and thus, became the higher class of Atithe.Due to the image of being a utopia that the city has worked extremely hard to achieve and upkeep, anything that could disrupt that image was quickly and quietly taken care of before most citizens knew what was happening. Any rumors were and are quickly quelled by The Atithe Center's counter-intelligence. Therefor, the history of Citadelis has been written down as entirely peaceful and conflict free.
