Stormveil
Stormveil is a wealthy elven city built high among the hills and valleys of western West Winval. Because of the innate magical potential of High - Elves, Stormveil is a city rich with magic use and casting, resulting in many magic shops and libraries filling the pathed streets of this immaculately kept settlement.
Demographics
Stormveil attracts wizards, sorcerers and other magic users most predominantly as the city has much magical knowledge to be obtained, held within its countless libraries of spell books and notes, not to mention the knowledge held within the Stormveil Mystic Academy's study. The city is also incredibly wealthy and so many rich families looking to settle down buy estates in Stormveil, it's also a very popular city for retirement.
Because of it's High - elven routes, there is a slight reputation that those native to the marble city are not always the most accepting or tolerant of outsiders despite the inclusive nature of the Festival of Irasil. Despite these views it is very rare for anyone to act upon these prejudices further than an occasional passing comment about orc tusks or tiefling horns.
Industry & Trade
Stormveil has an incredible arts industry, producing many plays, paintings, books and sculptures as the city was originally ruled over by Lady Firehair whilst she was still alive and so the city to this day worships her now that she has become a deity and has multiple cathedrals dedicated to her divine goals and worship.
Every year on the 10th of Palesun they host the Festival of Irasil, a large arts festival in which playwrights perform their newly written works, artists present and sell their new pieces and elven wine is passed round for free as a show of good faith and enjoyment for all. Everyone is welcome at the festival.
History
In the ancient world before The Split of Olkvast, Stormveil was a marbled city built in honour of the All - Father Oasis and was ruled over by a beautiful redheaded elf called Irasil, also known as Lady Firehair. To honour the creator and all he had done for their city, Irasil commissioned several paintings and pieces of literature documenting his grace and benevolence. After her death, her legacy continued within Stormveil as an artistic and high class city and when she became a deity, several churches were built in her honour.
