Elysium

The city of Elysium is a sprawling cityscape literally carved into the side of Elysium Munds. Elysium is a tiered series of gardens, manors, plazas, orchards, bathhouses, amphitheatres, temples, public squares, council buildings, artisanal markets, lecture halls, galleries and more.

The High Elves of Elysium consider the city the world's cultural and intellectual centre for a reason. Elysium is also the seat of the Directorate, with the High Council Hall at the summit of the city.

Other attractions include the Amphiteatre Forestia, the city's largest outdoor theatre where weeklong elven "operas" are performed for special occassions. There is also the Pool of A Thousand Lilies, the city's largest and most extensive bathhouse and pleasure house.

The lowest tier of the city is mostly made up of a human and half-elf population. These are mostly merchants, labourers and servants who do work that is considered below the High Elves.

In ancient times, Elysium was carved out of the sides of the mountain by the dwarven Silverstone family. This was one of the major and few collaborations between elves and dwarves, and it's considered impolite to admit dwarven efforts in crafting the city.
