Queenston
by Brad Malott
Queenston is the only major settlement in the province of Elladria, which is mostly made up of lumber mills and cleared forest. The city of Queenston is known for its large building called the Arbori Arcanum, which is a mix of wood elf architecture and strong stone keeps of the humans. The large pillars around the walls of this keep have native trees growing out the top of them, their roots wrapping down the cylindrical make of the castle turrets. The Arbori Arcanum is built on a hill overlooking Elladria and the stairs to get to the front are steep and crooked as the builders found a place to put the stairs while not disturbing the natural rockface too much. The city is also a major center for logging and woodworking, with many sawmills and woodworkers located within its walls.
