Government

Elda is the seat of the Republic of Phabe's government and is where the Overseers meet to discuss policy within the nation.

Defences

Elda is guarded by sea by the Elda Naval Fortress. It's land defenses are considerably weaker, but there are rumors of a group of mages the reside in the Overseer's Layer that have the ability to channel a magical barrier around the city.

Industry & Trade

Elda's income comes mainly from external guilds seeking to have a base of operations held within the city. By charging inordinate amounts, the presence of guilds is an inherently profitable presence. The guilds still benefit from this arrangement, however, as it is the only city in the nation where they are allowed to have a base of operations; as a result, all work for that guild comes from the Eldan branch.

Infrastructure

As with many Phabean cities, Elda is predominately made up of towering spires that feature nearly fifty-to-one-hundred levels each. The spires -- among other structures -- are divided across multiple districts.

Overseer's Lane

Overseer's Lane is the governmental district in the city. It features the Overseer's Tower, the Immigration & Travel Tower, and the Assignment Authority Tower.

Noble's Court

Noble's Court is where various residences owned by noble families are held. Unlike the rest of the city, Noble's Court is not made up of spires. Instead, the manors here are designed in a similar fashion to noble houses in the Dusael Empire or the Merchant's Confederacy.

Residential Towers

The Residential Towers is a set of twenty spires used only for housing common and lesser-noble families. Each tower can hold roughly three-thousand residents.

Culture Walk

The Culture Walk is the largest district in Elda and features smaller towers, each five-to-ten stories high. These towers range anywhere from shopping malls, guilds headquarters, or Eldan landmarks.

The guilds housed in Elda are as follows:
Travelers' Guild
Apothecary's Alliance
Glassblower's Guild
Bakers' Guild
