HelevornThe second greatest of Quentari cities, Helevorn is located within the Greenwatch Mountains overlooking Lake Helevorn. Helevorn was founded in 134 Loa Eathalion, several millennia after the creation of the Quentari nation and thousands of years before the founding of Evendarr. The Dwarves allied to the Quentari Elves worked alongside the Elves to craft Helevorn from the very stone of the mountains to protect their precious knowledge. The architecture of Helevorn is said to be one of the wonders of the continent of Avalon, with stone buildings crafted in such grace as to defy their own weight. Access to the city is controlled by several narrow mountain passes, and thus in nearly impenetrable by overland enemy armies. The most powerful of Quentari magical knowledge is safeguarded within the Black Tower and only called upon by the leaders of the Quentari Elves in times of desperate need. Within a few hundred years of the final construction of the Great Library, the Elven Institute of Learning and Magic was established to organize and train Quentari scholars in specialties of arcane lore. Within a few spans, Helevorn became the academic center of the Quentari nation, and the Elven Institute of Learning and Magic was established. |
