Starspire Rest
Heavily influenced by Sun Elf architecture, Starspire Rest is, to most, the most visually and aesthetically pleasing area on Beacon. The architecture is reminiscent of the best parts of Eleth Lilanor and Eleth Telnara: curved, lithe, elegance, using polished white stone as a building material, small spires rising above the other buildings, built with an obvious attention to detail. While craftspeople elsewhere on Beacon are more functional, one can count on Starspire Rest to provide work that is both highly functional and a joy to behold.
Starspire Rest attracts artists of all kinds, from painters and sculptors to actors and musicians to writers. Believing that repetition is dull, the streets are the most varied. Residents claim that no two buildings are alike, though any effort to validate that claim quickly gets laid aside as the beauty of the borough is quite distracting. The streets are spacious, and parks and green space can be found at every corner.
The most affluent residents of Beacon live in the northern part of the borough, their homes built against the Everwick Plateau, giving them a great view of the rest of the borough. Haliskar University's Bards' College is actually situated in Starspire Rest, though closely connected with the rest of the university; the administrators thought it best to give the artists exposure to the best the city has to offer.
