History

During the reign of King Tristian, there was a war with a neighboring kingdom. The city of Eleswell, southeast of the capital, came under siege. The enemy army sent an agent in to the city to poison the garrison. This agent succeeded, and most of the city's garrison was killed. Most people in Amarith assumed that the city was lost, but the citizens took the armor and, along with the remnants of the garrison, managed to hold Eleswell until the Amarithian army arrived.
After the end of the war, a monument was built in Eleswell to honor the countless soldiers and citizens that died in it's defense.

Architecture

Because of it's proximity to mines and quarries, most buildings in Eleswell are made largely of stone, and some residents have iron or steel doors. Most windows are screened with a fine steel mesh. More wealthy residents have glass in place of or in addition to the screen.
