A large sprawling eyrie, situated on the uppermost peaks of the twisting Belanoche, Ardasia is a wonder to behold. Large slender spires made of granite and cold sparkling marble jut straight into the sky, providing an eerie luminescence at night and a blinding brilliance in the day. Large, well situated rock and stone dwellings dot the area, the streets clean and free of urchins. The Dome and the immense towers of the abnormally irridescent Palace overshadow the whole city in their monstrous glory.

A peculiar structure made of ivory marble flecked with diamond dust towers over the whole city, clearly the dominant building of the capital. The harsh air is not suitable for gardens, but the palace grounds are littered with carven statues, memoires of previous leaders and well known figures. Large open balconies dot the structure at various intervals to allow for flying opportunities. Palace staff, guards, members of the royal family and the occasional guests are the only ones allowed on the grounds.

One of the more seedier places in this well kept capital, the Rogue manages to stay open and free of trouble as a result of its well mannered and well liked owner. The place itself is a small no-frills stone building, small crystalline lanterns hanging beside a sign declaring its name being it's only adornment. The inside is well kept, yet old, worn and simplistic in nature with cheap pine tables and countertops, scratched and worn from use. The bar itself attracts a great deal of business as it provides both nightly live entertainment and well brewed ale for the lower class citizens (as the upper class scorn indulgements such as these). The owner is a squat fellow who matches his establishment perfectly. Typically the place keeps their regular staff, but occasionally they manage to employ the odd exotic dancer.

The Marquessa is a spotless and pristine place, situated in the midst of the city. High walls with ebony balconies and overly high ceilings seem to be the preferred architectural style. The Marquessa hosts various clientelle, from emissiaries to bards, and provides them all with well cooked regular meals. The rooms themselves are generously sized with intricate and expensive furnishings. The owner is a shrewd, overly observant woman who runs the inn with an iron fist, and is not particularly well liked by staff, although she is pleasant enough to customers.

Well known, as it is one of the most prosperous marketplaces in all of Leriso, Trader's Trail is a long stretch of dwelling free road at the base of the Palace, catering to both the wealthy and the poor with goods imported from all over the world, some exotic, some common. Everything is sold here from bolts of fabric, to jewelry, to rare odd looking items to common everyday staples such as bread. The head of the Merchants, Kazsix, keeps all the proprietors in line. Ridiculously wealthy, Kazsix owns property in each province with the exception of one, and is regarded with the utmost respect anywhere he goes as he deals in goods with everyone.

The largest standing structure in all of Nivern, The Dome towers over even the Palace, it's rooftops lost amidst the clouds. Surrounded by delicately fluted spires, the structure appears most simplistic, architecturally, however it is without a doubt the most intimidating. Here is where any and all magical training takes place in Nivern, however the priviledge of being trained in the magical arts is reserved for royalty, the scholarly that have studied for years, and apt pupils who have proved themselves extremely worthy. The raw power of the building exudes a sort of tension which affects everyone within a nearby radius. The clear glass like roof of the Dome is ideal for channeling and harnessing the powers that the sprites use to control their element of air, and throught that, weather.

As the northermost tip of Nivern, the Lyetasi has an unparalleled view of the ocean and surrounding countryside. Rocky crags dot the hillside and the peninsula itself is elevated high above sea level. Rich foliage surrounds this area and a few smaller dwellings have been erected in the area due to the lovely view.

Aleveso is a small town situated nearest to the peninsula itself, less than a couple miles away. The town itself is still blossoming, but it has a certain homey air about it that attracts quite a few visitors and people looking to escape and get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Small non-descript houses dot the countryside with the odd farming house here and there. A small town center has recently been erected in the middle of the town, and a small careworn traveling path skirts through and around the town, eventually leading back to Ardasia and other cities around Nivern. There are a few makeshift inns but nothing to make mention of, however they are satisfactory for the amount of visitors that come through.

Castle Kyvern is an oddity in Nivern. Situated in the heart of the extended finger of the Belanoche, it is unlike most eyries in the fact that it is built from stone and masonry and is much like your typical medieval castle rather than the tall spires that are customary of the winged folk. Oddly dark and ominous, the castle is a forboding presence within Nivern. Small attachments of the royal guard are sent there yearly to explore the mountanous region and to keep a close eye on their perilous position within the finger of the mountains. The castle itself is heavily garrisoned, and is run by the Duke, Círdan, and the Lady Uruviel. Although the two seem pleasant enough, there is an air about them that makes most visitors nervous.

A bustling port, Staroth is Nivern's main habour, and therefore the most busiest. Goods are shipped by sea daily, and sea vessels are constantly coming in and leaving the docks. It's pleasing to the eye, with it's white sandy beaches dotted here and there with docks of dark oiled wood. Treacherous reefs lie off to the west however, so ships must be careful to skirt them or else risk bottoming out. The seas themselves can be deadly too once the strong fall winds hit the shores.

Suraken is an extention of the Staroth Harbour, and just as busy. It's by far the least safest town to live in and probably the most undesirable. Illegal goods are smuggled and trafficked into the town every day, and if a newcomer isn't careful, they're likely to get their purse cut, or worse, their throat. It's a prime spot for finding and hiring mercenaries, or to pursue activities that are not sanctioned within the realm. At first appearance, Suraken seems an average town, clean, well kept buildings... but it doesn't take much to notice the stain that has begun to spread. Thieves roam the streets in packs, the homeless sit quietly on corner streets, and all around business is being done with illegal tender.

Turelia sits in a perilous position on a southern jut of land in Nivern, facing Caracalon. It's proximity to the border is unnerving to most, so few volunteer to garison there. Those that are keep constant 24 hour vigilance. Small and well hidden, the outpost is situated in the heart of a heavy forest, the top of the outpost just skimming slightly about the canopy of the trees. The building is almost cottage-like in appearance, made from heavy dark wood and resin, however it is fortified with a thick gate made from stone with overly tall walls that are difficult to scale, but easy for the guards to wing over if necessary. The outpost itself is garrisoned by both guards from Ardasia and Kyvern, as well as surrounding conscripts.
