Echedgeard

Echedgeard, the White City is an ancient and magical city said to be home to many of the helpful and benign magical beings of Tolnithe. Although it has no direct ruler, Taalia, Rond, and Haxxas are said to frequent there, and their servants also seem to call the realm home. Its location is unknown to mortals, and it is something which explorers have searched for for thousands of years.

History
The city was originally commissioned by an ancient Tuatha king to be built by Daelbor, a legendary mason under the employ of Fethgolud. Although he is known to be wicked in his purpose, Fethgolud is also famous for being willing to perform almost any act if given enough tribute. The king taxed his fiefdom to the point of ruin for this purpose. Although the king ended up falling to his own subjects, the kingdom was built. However, it was never inhabited by mortals, as the fallen king was the owner. Fethgolud refused to give up the secret of its location to his subjects. Fethgolud was then said to take up residence in Echedgeard for a time before boring of it. At some point it was said that he gifted it to Haxxas as a way to appease him after a disagreement between the two. Haxxas, at the time not caring much for the pomp and vanity built into its walls, offered to share it with any god or creature who was in his graces. As previously stated, it ended up being used quite extensively by Taalia and Rond as well.

Appearance
As suggested by its second name, Echedgeard is described as a city of towering white towers of pure-white stone. The architecture has been described as a mixture of strange shapes and structures which combine to make incomprehensible technologies that the mortal races cannot comprehend, to the point where one would not be able to point to a structure and be able to discern if it was simply for decoration, structural support, or if it was part of some larger, somehow alien machine.
