Elysia

Nowhere will there be grander cathedrals, sunnier farmland, or more honor-bound knights than in the kingdom of Elysia. Its gently sloping plains and glistening lakes are the very definition of idyllic. Long ago, these bountiful lands were wrested from the control of the Summer Court adrassi and tamed for the use of a great many munen farmers. In return, the citizens of Elysia devote their faith to Archon and his celestial representatives on Rheann. They currently swear fealty to a compassionate and beautiful celestial known as Atara, the Prophet Queen.

The leadership of Elysia is benevolent and wise. Its people are afforded the protection of the Queen’s cavaliers, well-equipped knights who work tirelessly to fend off threats and ensure the laws of the court are adhered to. The laws of Elysia are fair and just, providing mercy and support for those in need. Those who seek to victimize others for their own personal gain will quickly find themselves subject to the scrutiny of the cavaliers, which is inadvisable at best.

Munen and ascended make up the bulk of the Elysian populace, but there are also significant numbers of every other race present, especially in the larger cities. Elysia is safe, wealthy, and concerned for the welfare of its citizens, making it an ideal place for almost anyone to live.

Archonal
Often called the Star-Blessed Crown, Archonal is a sprawling city which promises safety to a wide variety of people. Its roads are clean, and each building is carefully constructed and tended to. The city sits in a natural bay, and as such it enjoys a busy dock district and countless merchants looking to exchange their goods for gold. In order to pay for such luxuries, Archonal imposes high taxes on those who do business in the city. The Queen’s court does so with little concern for the inevitable backlash from wealthy traders, as Archonal’s generosity toward its citizens goes beyond simple economic policy. It is a matter of religion. Housing is provided for those who do not have it, and food to those who need it, by decree of the Prophet Queen.
