Elodia

video File:Placeholder
Elodia is the largest and one of the oldest cities in the Broken Earth. It is nestled between Dragon Marsh and three rivers; what little land border they have are walled, giving it optimal protection from outsiders. It has a population of 4,000; elves comprise the majority of the population, but there are quite a few humans, dragonborn, and tieflings as well. Elodia has five districts: Marsh Inland, Rapids' Elite, River's Edge, the Market District, and the Sand Slums. Elodius is the most worshipped god of the city.

## Origins

Elodia was founded by the Rapids family. The orcs across the river in Du-Kah value nature above all else; they are strongly against the idea of settled civilization and are routinely willing to fight to maintain a nomadic culture. The Rapids were deemed soft orcs for their desire to claim, settle, and fortify land they could call their own. They were chased further and further west until they reached the river. With constant prayers of survival and life to Elodius, they jumped into the river and drifted downstream. After three days they reached the still waters of Dragon Marsh and were greeted by the dragonborn and aquatic creatures that lived there. The Rapids were helped to shore and taught methods of agriculture and how to survive in land strongly influenced by the fey. They settled and sent word back to other soft orcs in the east that there was a refuge for them to travel to. As more crossed the river, Elodia grew. Centuries of civilization and proximity to the fey altered the soft orcs until they were recognizable as a new race: elves.

## Royal Family

The Rapids family were the first to journey across the river to new land. Alta Rapids is the current queen and resides in Rapids Castle. She was married to Kin-Ail. He was last seen leaving Elodia with a hunting party 400 years ago and they were never found again. It is widely believed that they were somehow tricked into visiting fey land, though no one knows for sure. Queen Alta ordered the construction of Fey Gate in order to prevent more people from disappearing, and it seems to have worked. Alta and Kin-Ail Rapids have one child, Kha-Im Rapids. He is the prince in waiting and Queen Alta is very determined to wed him so he will not rule alone when she has passed.

## The Market District

The Market District is where you can find most of the shops of Elodia. It is the only district with a land border. The streets are old and worn down from centuries of use, meaning most buildings have a small set of stairs leading up to the front door. Many Elodians live above the shops they work at.

## Marsh Inland

Marsh Inland is the oldest district of Elodia. It is along the coast of Dragon Marsh and mainly serves as an entrance to their city. Rapids Castle is located in the far west of the district.

## The Sand Slums

Most of the tiefling population lives within the Sand Slums. This is the only district with a wall border separating it from the rest of the city. It is where the majority of the lower class resides, and it's a tight-knit, supportive community mainly comprised of fishers and farmers. The Sand Slums' architecture reflects its community, with older buildings falling prey to rot and other environmental damage. It shares a border with the coast, and much of the land is hard-packed dirt and dusted with sand.
