At the heart of this mosaic confederation lies Athelour, the venerable cornerstone and self-appointed cultural and military epicenter of the land. The capital of Aanveil, is a grand and imposing fortress city. Its tall, fortified walls testify to its strength and resilience against any threat.

The cityscape within is a bustling amalgamation of architectural marvels, blending both  ancient relics and the sturdy constructions of the knight order that reformed it. The main fortress, rendered in lime washed stone that gleams a brilliant white under the sun, dominates the skyline, overseeing the sprawling city below. Narrow cobblestone streets wind through the city, lined with buildings adorned with intricate carvings and banners displaying the heraldry of noble houses. Market squares bustle with activity, merchants peddling their wares amidst the lively chatter of townsfolk and the clatter of hooves on stone.

At night, torches and lanterns cast a warm glow over the city, creating a magical ambiance that enchants both residents and visitors alike. In the heart of Athelour lies the Hall of Ages, where the regent holds court and conducts matters of state. This grand hall, adorned with tapestries and ornate furnishings, serves as the seat of power and governance, where decisions that shape the kingdom's destiny are made. Overall, Athelour is a city of contrasts — a symbol of strength and resilience, yet also a beacon of beauty and culture in the realm of Aanveil.
