Ilnesaira, Avalon (ill-neh-SAY-ruh)
The capital city of the Kingdom of Avalon, this bustling metropolis always presents a beautiful fascade to all who visit. An awe-inspiring waterfall cascades from the upper tier of the city to the lower and a river winds its way through the entire city.
The outskirts of the city blend into remnants of the Old City, N'Maernthor, which the Rise is built atop. Few dare venture into these vast ruins.
Demographics
While there are many different races to be found in Ilnesaira, there tends to be a significant number of those with an elvish heritage.
Districts
The city is set up into two different Tiers. The Valley and the Rise. Each Tier has its own districts.
Valley
The lower portion of the city, sprawling out from the base of the falls. The majority of the residents make their homes here, and most of the commerce and industry happens in the Valley.The River District
Primarily a residential and garden district, these are homes for the wealthy merchants, artisans, and ex-patriots from other nations who have come to live in "the most beautiful city in the world."The Falls
Just beneath the beautiful falls streaming down from the Rise, all of the high end markets and shops available in the Valley are located here. Not as glamorous as shops in the Rise, nonetheless they are a popular place for all of those with means, but not a noble title, within the capital city.The Port of Ilnesaira
Passenger ships arrive to and from this beautiful port along the river in the mid-area of the Valley, its sparkling architecture greets those arriving with an impressive welcome to the city.The Docks
Further down the south end of the Valley, the Docks cater to merchants, shipping, and tradesmen and, while it tries to keep up the appearances demanded of the capital, it is still seedy, dirty, and rough.The Brambles
The slums of the city, hidden behind glistening walls that keep it divided from the main streets and wealthier districts, few enter the Brambles that don't already know its twisted streets and dark alleys.Rise
The noble families make their homes on the Rise, and all of the highest quality merchants sell their wares here. To access the Rise, one must go through one of two gates. These are guarded and special permission must be granted to anyone entering. The royal castle is located here.Guilds and Factions
Guilds
Most all of the Guilds are represented in Ilseneira. They are spread across the city with the "commoner guilds" such as Tinkerers, Weaponsmiths, Mariners and Confidants in the Valley and "noble guilds" such as Jewlers, Barristers, Moneylenders, and Artisans in the Rise. Some of the guilds have strict requirements for entrance to ensure the "quality" of their members.Criminal Factions
The primary faction in charge of all things illegal in Ilnesaira is the The Guenhwyvar
