== Overview ==
Elsør was the capital and largest city of the kingdom of Skjermark in the Northern Lands. A prosperous trading settlement situated at the top of the longest fjord in the kingdom, Elsør was among the oldest cities in the entirety of the Northern Lands, being inhabited since prehistory. Being Skjermark's capital, Elsør hosted rulers of Skjermark from Jarlsar Palace, both during its extensive monarchical period and brief lord rulership. The city enjoyed a mostly peaceful existence, granting prosperity to its sizable civilian population attracted there by the opportunities it afforded. However, the city saw its only violent period of upheaval during the Skjermarki Civil War, when the Hosts of Skjermark forced entry into the city to secure Jarlsar Palace and the throne. Later, during the Skjermarki Velvet Revolution, much of its populace took to the streets and abandoned their places of work to usher in the kingdom's era of the restoration of the monarchy.
