The Elven capital city of the Shimmer Isles. Situated in Usta's south-east jungles, it is well hidden and integrated into the beautiful and lush plant life that surrounds it. Many of Anlyth's residents live in giant trees that dominate the central areas of the city, numerous bridges link buildings that are built into the trunks themselves. Grand architecture of elegant beauty is so expertly crafted that it allows them to last for millennium without damaging the natural surroundings.

At the very heart of the city lies Lunas Orberus, a grand palace to the ruler of the nation, Ulahice. It is situated on the largest tree in the city by a large margin and baffles architects around the world as to how such a large structure could possibly be built up a tree.

As the city's verticality is a prominent feature, any foreigners visiting often struggle to navigate its various areas, as the concept of streets and districts becomes very warped. The city features many large spiraling staircases that can be built internally or externally to a trees structure, dependent on its size. However, many lifts are in operation also, cleverly designed pulley systems allow quick scaling into the jungle's canopy, or the transportation of heavy goods and produce that are brought to market and shops alike on a daily basis.
