CELESTIA

Celestia is a large fortified city located on the Illdoridri mainland. It's main populace is human, but also has a mix of elves and half-lings alike throughout the city.

The city itself is quite big and houses close to a 3000 citizens. The result of such growth has seperated the city into three main quarters which one can visit.

The Southern Quarter 

The southern most quarter is the low class area were poverty can be found in every corner. Houses are mainly made of wood where a number of families live within a single building. Most of the poverty is due to the foundry, which has caused a number of environmental issues causing famine and desease throughout the quarter. Most citizens living within the other quarters stay out of this area, except those seeking some 'special' entertainment. 

The Dock District 

The middle quarter is the biggest area and houses the docks and docking authorities, as well as a large part of the celestian populace. Within the northern part of the dock district is the arena, a popular entertainment hub for the Celestians as well as the council house, were the difference factions within the Alliance meet up to discuss pressing matters. 

The cartographer of Celestia is an important figurehead in the city and lives within the docks district. By combining science, aesthetics, and technique, his cartography skills are superb and most sailors dare not travel the seas without one of his maps. 

The Blackgate District 

The highest part of the city is the Blackgate District. A rather high class area and home to the various religious figureheads of the city. The temple of Celestia is located within this quarter, as well as the graveyard. 

The Airtower 

The greatest invention of this decade is the airship. By using hot air, ships can be lifted into the air and travel faster from one area to another. As a result of such a popular travelling vehicle, the Airtower was built within the southern quarter for such airships to dock. 

Castle Celestia 

Castle Celestia is the seat of power of the Alliance and home to the lord of Celestia. It is a large complex sub-divided into two sections. The first section contains the armoury, barracks, stables and training grounds. The second section contains the throne room, kitchens, and living quarters. 

The castle itself is heavily protected with high walls and towers in every corner. 

The Kennels 

The citizens of Celestia pride themselves in their war hounds and how they aided many a battle against invaders and Celestia's enemies. The Kennels are located within the Castle walls, where they are trained and bred. 

The Arcanum Tower 

The Arcanum Tower is a magical tower that uses the magical ether and the power of the ether to levitate. The Mages of the Tower are continously engaged in studies related to the nether and the real world. 

The tower is also a central source of information related to the nether, and is one of the few places were an active nether portal can be found.
