Ahaerikhed-Aluf

Ahaerikhed-Aluf, commonly merely "Aluf", is the largest city and capital of Telaa Sahel. A sprawling metropolis of more than half a million souls, Telaa Sahel ranks amongst the largest cities in all of Oryndiil, and is the third largest on Ohoroh. 
Ahaerikhed-Aluf is known by many nicknames, such as "the City of Gold", "the Hill of Lights", and "the Land of the Lord". It is constructed around a large hill, known as Light's Finger, and radiates in a circle outwards from there. Upon the hill is built the Palace of the Peadeshah, where the monarch of Telaa Sahel resides. 
The city is the religious centre of the Ahaerikhed Faith, and is viewed in their theology as the place upon where their God, Ahaerik, touched the very world itself. Temples are everywhere in the city, with the House of Light being especially prominent, situated alongside the Palace on Light's Finger.
The city is famed for the amount of gold which adorns it's buildings; it is said that every house in Aluf has at least one piece of gold ornamentation somewhere. The roof of the House of Light is constructed with one colossal sheet of gold over the top, which acts as an ever-present reminder to the people of the holy city that their god, the lord of light, is with them.
