Dolornost Arnĕn
Dolornost Arnĕn (Tall tree hillfort by the water) is Eltán's South Valley Suburb Capital of Duchy Eltán, just to the West of New Solamnia. It sits on the Northern bank of South Lake, at the very source of the Great Southern River(Q. Harduinë), where it pours from the cliffs. The city on the shore shelters the non combatants under his protection, and the strong hillfort behind the river's source is a wonderful base from which to patrol the lightly inhabited but heavily engineered (cf. Elflands) forest on the Western shore and the hamlets beyond. A great many daily patrols are also sent North, to watch over Duchy St Karlon's hamlets, and longer marches to patrol both river valleys are a common (but irregulaly scheduled) assignment. This is still a hot enough area that it turns surviving recruits into veterans quickly.
Massive hillfort, faced with river's source and drawbridge, flanked by cliff with emplacements and lake, with line of fortified trees set with boarding-netted platorms
Temples of the
Church of Eru Ilùvatar and of the
Church of Aslan, separated by the Parthenon to the Valar overlooking a giant amphitheater with stone table and seven swords, are built into the hillfort.
Orchestra Pit and giant Waterfall powered Organ (with batteries of sounding pipes in clusters down the length of the hillfort and overlooking the harbor) provide enough volume to inspire defenders even during a siege.

Rainbow Barbarians defenses and settlements throughout West Bank forest. The tribes were mightily impressed by
Gilthanas' Elflands tree forts, as well as the pod style favored by the Alfheim Elves under
Prince Brendian and it has become a friendly competition to see which elves can make a forest more comfortable to live in and simultaneously a worse hell to invade. Much of the fallout of this tree-tech race goes into the
The Free Imperia's settlements farther afield.
