Stormhaven Overview

Stormhaven
The City of Stormhaven is the largest on North Island, and was the capital of King William's Realm before being conquered by the Elves. The city is spreads over a huge area and is composed of three major metropolitan sites, plus both the Imperial Palace. To the NorthEast can be found the crumbling ruins of the old Royal Palace.
==West Stormhaven==
The Western Quarters were in the throes of a major expansion at the time of the Empire's attack. Since that time the local inhabitants have managed to come to an ‘arrangement’ with the Elven Empire, and as a result of this West Stormhaven is the only place wherein the free Human population actually outnumbers the slave population. Elves, by agreement and natural inclination both, are rarely seen here, and those visitors who do venture into its labyrinth of streets and alleyways often do not emerge.
==East Stormhaven==
This is by far the oldest part of the City, boasting buildings said to predate the establishment of the first Royal Kingdom. It is also the site of the Royal University, rumoured to be a cauldron of rebellion against the Empire and melting pot of sedition.
==Central Stormhaven==
This is the site of both the civil bureaucratic buildings of the old Kingdom and the Elven Empire. It is also the site of the South Side Market. Those Human slaves who are not working to produce for the Empire are used to be sold en masse at this market. Since the treaty between Alvera and the Empire has been in place this trade has been rapidly dropping away.
==The Imperial Palace==
The heart of the Elven Empire is built around the reconstructed ruin of Hahsandra's sacred grounds. This is the Administrative centre of the Empire's efforts in the North Island, it also houses both the Imperial Magic Guild and the somewhat bizarrely-named Golden Tulip Inn. The Inn is open to all races, but it’s prices preclude any but the richest from entering. Some would have it that the Golden Tulip makes the Dunes in White Beach seem like a broken down roadside stall.
==The Royal Palace==
A few miles to the NorthEast are the ruins of the King Williams old palace and Summer Residence. Massively run down and largely abandoned save for the use of its extensive Tournament Field and Barracks, remnants of the old Palace buildings are maintained as a permanent reminder of the power of the Empire.
