The Citadel

In the centre of the huge city is the Citadel - built atop an even more ancient city itself, it was the shining glory of Methredhel for the Elves - it's Primus Towers touch the clouds.

Incorporated into the city are the four ancient elven caste districts of Fire, Earth, Wind and Water which make up the Ring of Illium

The inner city - known as the Guardian Circle - is a thick patchwork of independant states and families which leech off the prosperity of the Citadel and elemental quarters and lord over the lower states further out from the centre; over their 'piece of the pie'.

Towns and dwellings - some good, some bad - lie out on the flat wide ground - known as the Broadstep which sprawls between the concentrated centre of the city's mass, and it's ancient outermost walls - where most people live, and most people die.
