Eldergate

Capital City

Map of Eldergate

Prince Elamaris (Heir)

The Capital of The Brangrove. Grown around The Point of Convergence within a valley of a few mountains, the outskirts quickly rising upon the cliffs.

## Locations

#### *Eldergate Palace (1)*

Home and Capitol building for the Lord and Lady of Eldergate. One of the few structures with any form of wall or fencing surrounding it, to enter you must walk up a set of cut stairs, where you are met with the main gate, always manned by guardsmen. Within the walls is a small courtyard before the grand tree that forms the main structure of the Palace, made of a hardwood oak who's sapling was taken from the original elven land.

#### *The Point of Convergence (2)*

The Point of Convergence is a shaded grove in the center of Eldergate at the center of the intersection of the leylines. Druids, especially proficient Rangers and those hoping to gain sorcerer’s magic (wild magic archetype) spend days meditating in the grove to enhance and/or earn their magical abilities *(Chance of Increasing Wis, Cha, or Int modifier depending on which is main spellcasting ability if allowed by DM. If unallowed, just say it failed I guess.)*

#### *The Closed Bird (3)*

The Closed Bird is a less than fancy bar frequented by off duty Oakenguard Rangers on the northern edge of the City. The place isn’t too clean but the drinks are good and the information is flowing.

Gossips tend to crowd the bar as it is where the Oakenguard who choose to return to their homes as opposed to living in the Fortresses tend to gather to catch up on the years they lost.

#### *The Arcane Infinity (4)*

The Arcane Infinity is an Enchanter’s Shop a ways off the main street of Eldergate owned by a Sun Elf named Fenhice. The owner has lived long enough that despite Elves seemingly not aging throughout centuries, he has the appearance of a 70-80 year old human. He has taken those many years and seemingly perfected the art of Enchanting items. He puts out the highest quality equipment but you must be willing to pay the associated (inflated) cost.

The owner is known for his ornery disposition, often throwing out customers as they get on his nerves especially when they try to negotiate prices. He has been fairly public with his distaste for the High Elves' air of superiority, citing having lived through their "rise and fall" in previous centuries. Most simply brush off the critisism as an old man who believed things were better in their day.

## Notable People

### Shalanna, Lady of Eldergate and the Greater Brangrove

The head of The Brangrove's council. She and her husband act as the step above in the otherwise Egalitarian Council as a means to prevent complete stagnation. She came to power in 900 3rd Era after the previous Lord and Lady were pressured to step down following the reveal of the additional laws within the Non-Elven Exile Act.

### Aelrindel, Lord of Eldergate and the Greater Brangrove

The second of The Brangrove's council, only outranked by his wife. He and his wife act as the step above in the otherwise Egalitarian Council as a means to prevent complete stagnation.

### Elamaris, Heir Presumptive to Eldergate and the Greater Brangrove

Son and declared First Heir to Shalanna and Aelrindel. Left to choose his own life until his parents announce their secession, he chose to join the Oakenguard in his 16th year. In 1254 he returned to Eldergate heavily wounded, carried by a member of his Division. He was brought into the palace for healing and was not seen leaving, nor seen amongst the capital since. The Oakenguard reports he has chosen to spend his time off-mission at the Western Brangrove Tower since this event.
