Greymist
Greymist was the capital city of the Empire within the western world of Revelyá. The city featured a mile long bridge called "Eledrin's Stretch" which served as the only connector to the mainland as the ringed city was built atop The Azure Sea.
It featured a total of eight different districts, each with its own focus on different trade and religion: Six were dedicated to each of The Mothers with the other two reserved for the capital's guests and the last one being the politcal heart of the city. The districts names were:
• Tamara's Market, a collection of many market stands and the main center of all things grocery trade and farm goods.
• Helen's Refuge, the main district of temples to Helen and the other mothers, churches and other places of worship.
• Marissa's Reach - e district full of several fish markets, the main harbor in town and several carpenters and shipmakers settled down here.
• Morrigan's Wall - all barracks, smiths and training grounds of the empire were located here alongside several fighter's guilds.
• Phoebe's Trove - this district served as the educational focus of the city, with great libraries, universities and schools adorning its streets.
• Acacia's Recluse - this district served as the main location for public gardens and wells, recreational areas as well as adventure outfitters along its edges. It was the main hub for all things legal animal trade as well.
• The Citadel - Tying in all districts together was a large granite mountain whose top was adorned by The Citadel - the main political heart of Greymist. Within, there were several lush gardens and parks, great banquet halls and studies the political forces of Greymist used. It is said the Greymist was founded and built by the Eladrin, the High Elves of old that featured many prominent kingdoms during the Second Age before The Calamity. Back then, the city was called "Argaelin". After several of the long enduring wars of the Second Age, the city was given up and an accumulation of the races now occupy the city as part of the empire that took over the city as capital in the 9th year of the Third Age. Outside the city there was a separate island state called Rhyker's Isle which was frowned upon by the public as it was more seen as a prison state with a few shoddy wooden piers leading down to it from Greymist. The prison state featured the cities main prison simply called "The Hold" and several shady organizations made this island their home - both in and outside The Hold.
