The Imperial Gates, a masterpiece themselves, immediately bring visitors to believe all they have heard tale of.  A massive marble stone wall that encircles the entire of Elidoris, the gates are the only entrance by land  to the kingdom. A rather large watch tower  mounted just on the right of  the Entrance to the city, keeps a keen eye trained on the surrounding areas. Just inside the wall, and thusly within the kigdom is a small settlement of seemingly very well made and rather comfortable homes. The people of the lands are very well looked after, especially if they prove loyal and devoted as the the guards do. They and their families live nearby the gates  not but a short ride from  the Capitol City.
	The Capitol City of Elidoris, a wonderous and magical place, T'Gatherin lies nestled between the Tara ras Orodrim Mountain Range and the Sea . Breath taking vistas greet the travelers , either by sea or land. The city is constructed of polished marble and granite, trimmed in all manner of ways. Flowered trellises, hillside gardens, colorful pennants and windows of quartz and  glass. Settled in a lush basin it is well irrigated and quite fruitful as far as the surrounding region is concerned. When the sun sets, the city shines in all its glory, the stones ablaze with refletced gold, amber, rose and white highlights. Truly T'Gatherin's  favor amoung the gods is apparent.
As visitors travel further into the center of towne they happen into Market Square. Here is the hub activity in town, merchnants, shops, cart vendors,  many of the City's services  and cozy homes for the citizens are within the center of town. Of special interest would be our jewlers house, Breads and Such Bakery, famous for its sweet rolls and  candied daisies, which are rumored to be unique to Elidoris alone.  Of course there are the Hounds and Horses Stables, quite a large and profittable establishment for it caters not merely to horses, Bellamy Imports  down along wharf street, Mystic Wares a reputable magic shop for your magical needs, and a very reliable blacksmith can be found at Ironman Forge right next door to The Mythril Coset an Amoury and Boutique. The Empire's Paper, the Tribune,  is also located here and can be quite controversial at times.
	Within the center of the lands, the heart of Elidoris sits a magnificent palace. This  where all the governmental offices are located.  Visitors are welcomed into the  Court of Nobility where they may have audience with the Lord of the Lands, Tre' ver,  and the Empress,   T'r'e  Lady Yasraena. Also here are the private counsel chambers for those of influence in these lands. As are the bank and  legal  offices, land sayers office, the Grand Ballroom with yet another tavern,  the Gaol the local dungeon or prison if you will, the Royal Library and   Royal Courtyard   are tended with care and  expertise both are the most exsquisite in the region.
At the foot of the blessed hills, sits the Temple of White flame. Hit perfectly by the rising morning sun and shrounded by the mysterious mists from the hills by eve, this temple is revered by both the land and the citizens alike.  The Inner Sanctum is remarkable void of outside distractions, even given the large circular expanse cut from the ceiling allowing the light of the day or night to filter in. Embracing those that come, are walls of stone, silent white flames dancing over them, dressing the revered stone in an elegant, powerful mysteriouness reminicent of the chosen god of worship Eli. It is here that most seek solice, search their hearts and minds, gather their thoughts. With clerics, and healers and a druid   to help guide, many citizens in Elidoris find this reverance for nature and tolerance for living souls a most fullfilling religion.
Just outside the city the is a large encampment for the troops of Elidoris. Composed of  Elves and men and even  a detachment of dragons these lands are well protected with air support, naval support and quite the army if needed. Though these lands seem to be favored by the gods, it has been noted that a small angelic host of  protectors too keep a keen eye over the lands. There is an arena for combat or sport training  which also offers a Fighters Guild,  a Coliseum for games where the Halls of Honor can be viewed. Looking down from  the nearby mountain top is a fortress. High enough to look over all the lands, sight the seas to the east, and look down past the wall over the mountains to west. A watchful eye above seems to comfort the citizens of Elidoris.
	Elidoris spills out to the Sea from its guarded embrace by the high mountains of the east and north and the fairy forrest to the south. Home of the naval forces it boast a  large fleet as is common amoungst Seaside communities. Here in the wharf  are many fisherman and traders too, the center of trade for the region there alwys numerous ships from many nations anchored in the harbor.  The  streets are littered with  fishmungers and navymen all heading toward the Port and Ale Tavern where they can rest and relax..  Thanks to quite a trade occuring between Elidoris and other Lands and the bounty that the Sea provides Elidoris lacks for little. The Sea is a livelihood for many a citizen here in Elidoris and brings boutifulness to the lands themselves.
