Steps towards heaven mountainrange; closest marble mines, making their city elegant as marble an chalk creates a pristine cityscape. 

Whilst the Elves nation is accepting of other creatures, no personnel that isn't a full elf has any sortof station higher than a merchant class. Even dignitaries from other nations must abide by certain specifics when entering & interacting with the High Elfs. Exceptions be the case only for those exotic races seeming to have any inherent magical abilities - this makes extraplanar visitors prized highly in the elven gaze. The capitol does have 4 main districts, 1 of which is the primary melting pot and the crossroads for the six other wards in the city that cater to specific planar allies.

For envoys such as themselves, they have wards specifically for the VERY few angelic creatures with temples to mostly all gods built in the teachings of individual religions. Four of the wards are built following the theme of an element, for various races who are more accustomed to specific climates. For example, the aquamarine district housing any sortof seafaring visitors from Tortles to Tritons to Water Genasi. Each district is uniformly labeled after a gemstone and some grand theme. The Elves pride themselves on elegance and hospitality, despite the backhanded interactions with races that they deem as lesser. 

Four wards are for the elements, one ward is for celestial, and the final ward is the slums. 


City Guard

(see general living) elves state the city guard back in '92 were becoming known to have resting bitch faces. Once this rumor spread wide enough, the guards all started wearing helmets. No longer does Syaena Ashari know the faces of their law enforcement. 

Aquamarine Ward

Aquamarine Ward

A water resort for aquatic meditation. Much of the dresscode is airy and see+through. The best cases to accept the world around you into your body and meditate on what that means. This place has many facilities dedicated to Waters,healing, meditation.

Places of interest; (water treatment plant) that has a suspended arcane mechanical building that all can see water from around the city pooling under it and rising up into it like a misty veil in front of bubbles holdijg much of the water dlowing into it. The facility creates countless waterfalls venturing down into subdividing rock formations also floating. Possible for everyone to have waterfall meditations! Many of these suspended rock structures are buildings in of themselves helping to divert water asay or usdd to draw in water, creating lazy flowing rivers of water diverted anywhere within Aquamarine district and throughout Syaena Ashari. 

Place number two is the Lilac Lilypads.

Customary for guests to bring their own incense and meditation equipment of course. Official yoga instructures and services may be purchased for a low fee of a few gold pieces. The Lilypads can anchor themselves in the water or be free to float around. It is often that important business is done on lilypads fortheir ability to move towards waterfalls to Drown out negotiation. Ease of enchantment, these crystal clear Waters can be subjected to as whatever purifying process elves use make the water equivalent to crushed diamond for reagents. 

Third; places to eat. Undersea eatinf establishments. Beneath rollimgw waves on the lakebed lies a wide variety of reef restaurants. Beneath the waters is a thriving smelting pot of various cuisines around Unknown. So many that the privilege becomes a caste system in of itself. Many common areas for people to walk in and dine are xarved out of the lake walls themselves, creating lovely underground restaurant experiences. A few restaraunts become mobile, eithee suspended from the underside od a lilypad or using the rare few indigenous water creatures (insert name) ahose ear bubbles ar emobile platforms for chefs ro setul their equipment to serve meals on the go. Rifhr at the very bottom of the largest lake lies the grand pearl. Nestled in an ancient sea clam lies a five petaled dusling ground for the rich and famous to imbibe on the most well renouned food prepared by master chdfs across the seas. Eating here and floating here is a privildgd givsn only by invitation. Thd curator of fhis quality clam is a mystery to all but the upper echelon of any society. Even for the middleclassed high elves and lower class sood elvez, its a pipe dream to frab a seat in this distinguished palace. 

General Living Area - living in stilt houses, it is custom for newlywed or new family to purchase a sapling and find a position along the river or inland to planf their saplings to grow a literal treehouse. The trees in this area, these treehouses, have a short-range of built in functions. Water purification is a staple and refuce recycling to avoid poisoning water flow unnecessarily outside their homes. The saplings provide the couple of family's magic power grow in accordance to mana input. As these tree saplings are available for free, the past hierarchg is subtly conveyed by the overall volume of your treehouse. Depending on either the elven family or general family's magic abundance, this turns the Commonwealth into a multitiered canopy as any couple or family lacking in mana tend to have smaller (1-2 bedroom sized) apartment houses closer to groundwater whereas mana abundant families grow taller ones with branches widening out to multiroom decadence. Oncd inside the registered mana wielders may augment the treehousd in it's early stages or cause additional growth spurts to create as much or as little spaces for whatever suits their fancies. In the cases of overpopulation, the sapling provided the most mana forcefully jettisons saplings in the way moving them into the rivers path or into the shade to grab the maximum sunlight and space. Alongside the general populace. The Commonwealth sport the largest museum dedicated to the history of Aquamarine district. This museum is spaced out following the largest main river flowing through the district so EVERYONE, tourists, AND locals will have to pass by and give praise to the long spanning history of the elves in this district.

Standard equipment for the guards here include +2 weapons and armors. They've got boots thar grow webbed fins to converting into sea skis. They have these slightly bulky gauntlets that make mana rope with claw attachments to grapple onto trees and swing through them, assisting navigation of the canopy district. The armor itself is a +2 mariner armor making it so they can naturally catch any miscreants causing trouble. The elves believe in apprehending over violent means of policing their people. Their +2 collapsible tridents deal lightning damage, and give disadvantages to creatures with swim speeds, and are equipped with bola bolas to apprehend less damaging creatures.
