Vedo'and Settlement in Toriel | World Anvil

Vedo'and

Vedo'and is the capital of the Winter court. Vedo'and is the greatest city of the Winter court, housing the archfey Luna Frostfall and a large temple to Selune.  

Description

The atmosphere inside the city is quiet and tranquil. It does not have the feeling of confinement that one would feel in Holypertuis, where the buildings are grouped close together. Vedo'and is open to the sky, and the graceful bridges spanning the lake around which it is built set the buildings wide apart. The elegant bridges, beautiful groves, and leaf-covered pathways that dot the city’s landscape are testaments to the feys' reverence for nature. One of Vedo'and’s most notable structures is the stunning Temple of the Moon, dedicated to Selune.   Vedo'and is arranged in a few terraces on the north, east and southern sides of a central lake area.  

Warrior's Terrace

The Warrior's Terrace (also referred to as the Hall of Justice) is a major central district in Vedo'and. serving as a base for the city's warrior, battlemasters, and the Sentinels. The fey, eager for fight utilize the training areas here to hone their skills. There they have the use of target ranges and dueling grounds. It occupies the easternmost section of Vedo'and.  

The Temple Gardens

The Temple Gardens are a large open area in the center of the city. The gardens themselves encompass the body of water, walkways, and small islands at the heart of the city, being named for the large Temple of the Moon located immediately to the south.   The Temple Gardens are connected by bridges to the other part of the city.

However, the temple also serve as the seat of government in Vedo'and, with the Winter court leader Luna Frostfall residing here. Incidentally, it was one of the largest artificial structures in the region.  

Cenarion Enclave

The Cenarion Enclave is a major district and a grove, where the city's druids reside and meet.   Below-ground, a secretive rogue guild, serving Luna Frostfall as spy can be found if one knows where to look within the westernmost bough. Hunters and rangers come to the Cenarion Enclave to train in the easternmost tree, and a stable at the base of the Enclave tree sell the saber toother tiger, typical mount of the Winter court fey.   Tall trees — oaks and ashes especially — lined the enclave. Each tree bore mystic runes shaped from the very bark. Within the circular grove, a handful of unique structures molded both from living wood and carefully-shaped stones represent the usual gathering place for convocations.
