Hivenfalls

While the journey to Hivenfalls is not for the weak at heart, the payoff is immense.   Hivenfalls is surrounded by the vast dunes of the Sunder Desert, a wasteland home to only the vilest of creatures. One may go days without water or food, while also avoiding the perilous monsters and bitter night. The Sunder Desert is a story for another day.   Hivenfalls is surrounded by three sets of walls, getting taller the further in you venture. Upon first seeing Hivenfalls, one might mistake it for an old ruin or castle, but on the inside lay the most fascinating creatures and robust societies in all of Ezrion. The city is situated upon the Dunda Ocean, so water is not a problem upon arrival. Walking through the first set of gates, which are unprotected, one may see the common people at work, farming, milling, lumbering, and the like. This is where the everyman stays, getting his work done and going to bed. You find that these houses are not your typical slum housing. They are nice, with indoor cooling and heating systems (produced by magic), baths, simple beds. It is nothing extravagant or elegant, but it is much better than most places peasant housing. Upon breaching the second gate, this one protected by guards, one may find the upper echelon of people working. Skilled craftsmen, artists, noblemen, and the like working away. From what you can tell, the houses are not too different from the plebian housing, with slight modifications such as size, color, and variety. You find that the majority of the people in the city are either elves or humans (Elvish-human flight). Upon reaching the last gate, which is heavily guarded, only being permitted by work or nobility, lies the schools, government buildings, and the Disk. At the center of the city, lies a single tower, standing well over 100 feet tall, with a ring, or disk, around the central spire, hovering. A radiant light shines from it, but what could it be?   The Tempting Inn is a luxurious inn inside the second walls of Hivenfalls. Walking down the street of the Wultz district (Second walls district) and heading toward the Tempting Inn, you will be greeted by some - uncharacteristically for the surrounding area - kind people, who will happily get you along your path and give some nice, if unwarranted, advice. Then, there it is, The Tempting Inn, in all of its glory. It's about dusk right now, and the warm lights glow from the inside out. You can hear soft, calming tavern music coming from inside with people gleefully chiming in and singing to their heart's desire. As you walk into the Inn, the room suddenly becomes MUCH bigger. What was a sort-of shack in the middle of the street turns into this glorious chamber with candelabra hanging and a giant chandelier in the middle.
