The elven capital is a city known as Alvalor(Elven for Brave Heart). The city houses hundreds of Elven clans and has some of the most expensive shops in all of Ira. The city itself is surrounded by a large enchanted wall with a gate big enough for a giant to walk through. The wall itself are ivory, and the gates are gilded with silver engravings. Inside the city you will find many large buildings, some of them with glowing green veins of energy going through them to power the magic warp gates. (To walk across the city would take a full day at least). Many of the buildings are the same ivory color as the walls, but will vary in stature. Shops tends to be smaller, but the smallest houses you will find are at least two stories with enough rooms to house three whole families. The largest buildings are in the back, they are also the most important. As you get closer to the gates the buildings get smaller, allowing for a better view from the High Elven Castle and allowing for archers to be able to shoot over the front structures in case of an invasion. The elven King Aendor rules from here with his trusted circle of Elvish Council in the Castle dubbed Cloud Reach by the humans due to its massive size . The High Elves rarely admit outsiders into their cities. Occasionally ambassadors are allowed in, for the sake of keeping peace between other races, but even they are of a higher status in human society. Common humans could only ever dream of entering the city, common elves are only allowed in during times of war or if they are chiefs and half elves are seen as dirty since very few noble High Elves would so much as touch a human.
The population of Alvalor is approximately 30,000
To the west of Alvalor is the same river that flows past Sturmhalla and the Forest's of Mirabel. During the war, dwarves would often use this river to send supplies and reinforcements down stream and was a key geographic advantage for the dwarves.
South of Alvalor along the river in Aurelius's Sorrow is Halberstadt, the human Fortress Garrisoned at the time of war between elves and human.
