This trading city and its impressive harbor on the Great River enjoy the protection of the mighty ducal castle. Numerous magnificent buildings shape the cityscape. The large Trade Hall, with its impressive dome, and the inspiring Fortified Hall of Praios, second in its glory only to the Sun Temple in Gareth, are just two examples. The local administration buildings of the Middenrealm lie just outside of the city, so Elenvina plays an important role in Imperial politics.
