Eldergarden

Eldergarden is a more accurately called the Hold of Eldergarden, as it has one centralized city carved out of a hill by Dwarven masons and Elven architects. The main pride of Eldergarden is vast countryside enriched by Bolbain's sacrifice and the Greatmother's Womb, which have generated the richest soil and most bountiful of crop yields. The countryside is painted with all manner of colors, ranging from a rich autumn palette among summer blood, flowering fields of white, yellow, orange, red, purple, and blue that travel along the many rolling hills of the grassland valley.
Continuous Candle Lanterns light the way through the countryside which bears a cluster of villages, communities, and farmland settlements, leading to the green belt surrounding the base of the hill city. Passing through the green belt and spiraling up the hillside path under a series of Guardian Bridges and Archways leads to the Dwarven Gates of Eldergarden. Inside is a towering, upward stretching city with bridges and pathways connecting various stories of stone buildings to one another, creating a jungle maze of roads and paths in the sky among its architecture. Fruit trees, flower bushes, and water border the paths as wild fauna infest the city with much welcome to the inhabitants. Courtyards and plazas are set aside for art, singing, poetry, and activism. Key sights to visit in this city are the Temple of Chauntea, University of Inspiration, the Rosespire Librarium, the Dragonshard Sage Tower, the Twin Dragon Palace, the Church of Selune, and Garden Square. Bordering the countryside to the northwest is a hill-cliff bearing the Greatmother's Womb, a giant White Oak Tree planted in front of the Church of Sylvanus. And to the west and north of the countryside is the Plum Forest, which stretches westward to the Gleaming Plains or Eastward to the Diamond Marsh and the Twin Horn Penninsula. Otherwise, the rolling hills of this expanse of cropland and wilderness stretch to the Sirensong Sea, which bears Orien's Descent.
