Ezleases

City Description
The Ancient city of Ezleases is one of the oldest cities in the realm of Ellarith, it holds an ancient library and archives all races and a vast collection of history and even spells. Also due to its history and being occupied by high elves it holds great places for the finer things in life like, wine jewels and even fashion. The city is placed deep within a thick elven forest and therefore very hard to find. If you’re not invited to the city or know where it is there is a very small chance you’ll find it. Ezleases is placed in a stunning location where the city’s occupants can see blue sky’s, a huge waterfall and thick trees all around. As well as being heavily fortified. It also have great natural defence's being places high and not many ways in and out of the city.

There is also a royal family in Ezleasas, however this family are different. Apart from being crowned king or queen any member of the family wont see the outside world and are kept away from the public. The only people that would even know of their existent are a few member who work in the palace and maybe the district representatives. Those being from all the separate town and villages in the region of Ezleases, occasionally they come together in the main city also called Ezlaesas to discuss and work out problems certain regions may of faced. They include High and wood elves and even a small settlement of Drow who don’t want to live like the normal Drow do.

The past few years however Ezleases is going through a new way of living which some are embracing while most aren't. Since the passing of the old King Berrian and Queen Andraste. His daughter Elelor and her arranged husband Olorin have taken reign of the region. The people of Ezleases are very elitist and dont normally accept outsiders or even accept them into their society, but due to Olorin also being an outsider he doesn't agree with this and has start to open Ezeases's doors to different types of races and people that wouldn't normally be allowed in. This has created a very public divide and rift with not just the citizens of the region but with the royal family. Elelor has been raised and also agrees in purity, Elves are the most elegant race and nothing compares.

Geography
Thick Elven forests covers most of the land with exceptions of small lakes and old ruins. Elves like to live on their own shut off from the outside world. The forest also has a very faint enchantment where people would either get lost or end up returning to where they entered the forest. However if you did venture out of the city the closest village would be the mining village of Siverrun. The Holy City of Actus probably the closest city not to far head of Carneth. Ezleases is also placed along the ocean and if able to could set sail out and reach Broadcove or even Slavers Bay.

Weather
Because Ezlaesas is a place for high elves and people of higher society the weather is constantly some what nice, especially in the main city. People think its from the location other think wood elves make it nice all year round.

Gods
In the main city of Ezleases most of the people worship Pelor or Ioun but the wood elfs mainly worship Corellon or Melora, and a very few members worship Eldath. However it isn't against any laws to worship anyone you want.

City Life
Life within Ezlaesas is very peaceful. It's a region for the rich and high members of society. Due to elves being able to live a long time, they have a lot of time on their hands, some dedicate decades to learn, train and perfect fighting styles and strategies. The people there are use to the highlife so they can be a bit snobby, there is also an underlying racism towards other races that aren't elf. You will also rarely find anyone that’s not some type of elf. And if you do they are normally looked down upon, none more so than half elves. Most of the people will put up with seeing different races day to day but knowing that one of their kind had relations with someone not as elegant or elite as their own kind can really boil the blood in some people. So life can be very polarising depending on what race you are.

The people of ezleases speak, mainly elvish but some speak common openly, a formal greeting to someone speaking common is Gi suilon.

Demographic
Ezleases isnt just one city its the whole forest around it and altogether have a population of about 21,500 people. The demographic for the people of Ezleases has changed somewhat over the past few years, what would of been exclusively some type of elves previously. However now elves still hold the majority (71%) but an increase in immigration has lead to a rise in half elves (12%). Some wealthy or influential humans also live here (9%) and the the last (9%) are made up of various other races.

Military
Unlike other cities or big towns that relies on guards and walls Ezleases although also has them also has natural defence that would be deadly to any random invader. The forest Ezleases is build it has a very powerful magical enchant set on it. That being if you weren't born in Ezleases, invited or know where you're going, you'll end up getting lost and eventually return from once you came. The forrest is also home to wild creatures that live in them and will attack people onsite. Creatures including a number of large beasts you would expect to be in a forest, Trents and 4 Eladrin. If you do however get through the forest. You still have the expertly trained guards known as the Myth Kerym. Ezleases likes to be left to its self therefore you would rarely ever see the soldiers march out the forrest.

Myth Kerym Guards - With their silver and gold trim scale armour the Myth Kerym look elegant in appearance and their expertly crafted weapons and long shields make them deadly. They are trained in either the way of the sword or bow and as a result will be issued a long sword and shield or a longbow and a short sword.
