Emynost

Beautiful Emynost is the capital city of the Argani. Carved from three large hills, almost mountains, the city is divided into three; The City of Gurbereth is the largest city, and it is here that the Queen lives, as well as most of the Houses. The City of the Sun and the City of the Moon are smaller, and the latter is the least populated. Both are home to Houses, but the City of the Moon is dominated by guilds, the barracks, the Seldi-Lindo, etc. The City of the Sun is the location of the numerous shops and businesses.
Caledamon (as the great peak is known) is split into twelve levels and four delvings. Each level is a vast network if caverns and grottoes and caves, all carved by the Elves. The throne room, on the first level, is the largest cave, and is lit by thousands of torches. Each level has thousands of caves, all serving as the mannish equivalent of buildings or rooms. Carved from the mountain itself are tall, beautiful towers. These towers are only accessible from inside the mountain, and they are connected to the tunnels and caves within. Often, a cave will serve as the Argani's sleeping chamber, and the connecting tower will be their living chambers.The larger towers on the northern side often act as meeting rooms for the Houses, and a nexus points for the various homes. For example Jade Spire is the official tower of House Lassinar. The Royal Tower, The Peak of Eternal Lights, is located at the very top of the mountain. 
The levels are connected by three elevators, which function by water movement. The water comes from the great lake, Glinnen, which marks surrounds the northern flanks. A water fall cascades down from near the top of the peak, thousands of metres up, to arrive back at the waterfall. The Great Falls are an amazing spectacle to behold.
Entrance to the city is on the south-side, through large gates carved of jade, and a road lined with great conifers. These gates are known as The Doors of Menel, and are constantly guarded. The lower levels and the Delvings are mainly dominated by smithies and forges, though there are also residences too.
