Elversult is known for three things. The first and foremost is that it is a wealthy trade city. It sits on the junction between several trade routes; sees many travellers and traders pass through it. As such, the sprawling city is made up of tents, shanties, warehouses, and caravans. Not all of the wealth reaches everyone equally, though. The poor tend to live in ramshackle huts on the south-east side of the city; while the rich merchant lords live on the opposite side of the city in large, tacky, overdecorated manors.
The second thing the city is known for is Temple Hill. This large, rocky hill sits in the centre of the city. Atop it are several temples to different. One is devoted to Waukeen, another to Asmodeus, another to Helm. Most of the other temples have changed their faith several times in the past few years. Along with the merchant lords, the priests of the temples hold a great deal of power in the city. The priests are expected to help watch over the marketplace located at the base of Temple Hill and to protect its stalls against thieves.
The third and final thing that most folk know about Elversult is the small, spring-fed pools that
are scattered across the city. Because of these pools, Elversult is sometimes called the City of
Pools. The pools are said to contain treasure and magical properties; each pool having its own
stories and superstitions associated with it. Some of these stories may be true, though the
locals might just be using them as a way of conning gullible tourists out of money.
