The great city-fortress was built in ages long since past, though it was built long after the end of the Fifth Crown War, it was built in the image of a city of that era. It serves as a monument, a sorrowful reminder of the elves shameful and tragic past. The citadel, when it was first constructed served as the grand palace of an Elven High Mage, Anathos, a devout follower of Labelas Enoreth and a respected and revered elder of the realm of Uvaeren. Anathos was rumoured to be tied in some way to the Seldarine, for he lived for more than a millenia, most of which his life had been dedicated to the Selu'taar.
