Coralis

Coralis is one of the largest cities in Gernon, and is the cultural and religious center of the Dorry Hills. It is built on 12 hills in a beautiful valley, ringed by some of the highest cliffs in the Hills. It is named for the first King of the Halflings, Coral the Great.
==Architecture==
Coralis is well renowned for being built entirely of white stone mined from quarries near the city, and for the greatness of the size and skill in the buildings. This is culminated in the Silver Keep, the great castle of the Royal Family of Coralis. Other important architectural feats of the City are the great Pantheon, and the Cathedral of the Patrician. Both show the great skill of Halfling architects, and the wealth of the clerical organizations.
==Nobility==
The current royal family is the Balor family, led by King Edmund Balor. The majority of the nobility that live in Coralis are halfling families, like the Balors, but the powerful Human Savoy Family has a Coralis branch. The other three major families are the Aarons, the Arundels, and the Bogden-Musrats. The Aarons are very tied into the religious organizations, with many of their family becoming high ranking clerics, and a large number of patricians coming from their family, including the current patrician, Roderick Aaron (currently styled as Julian III). The Arundels are the wealthiest of the non royal families in Coralis, owning approximately 50% of the silver mines in the hills.
