Issanor. That was the name of the capital of the elven domain.
Situated on the northern and central hemisphere of the new world, one would think it to be a very cold place filled with snow.
They couldn't be any more wrong.
If there was one thing humans knew about the elven domain, it was that it's beautiful.
Thanks to the elven magic, which was closely related to nature itself, an expansive land that was filled with greenery and the most breathtaking scenes came to be.
All the humans that had ever crossed this land said the same thing: 'It's the most beautiful place that I've ever seen.'
"Ukh."
Stepping out of the portal and suffering from the usual nauseating feeling that I'd get whenever I came out from one of those things, I stumbled a couple of steps.
It had to be said that the distance we traveled was incredibly far. The side-effects of the portal were much stronger than before.
I felt a sensation akin to having my own stomach turned and rolled multiple times. It was anything but pleasant.
Fortunately, with my now improved body, I was quick to recover.
"…wow."
The moment I opened my eyes and saw what laid ahead of me, I lost my breath, as if it was snatched away.
"Is that… Issanor?"
A city surrounded by large canopy trees built upon low, rolling hills appeared in the distance. Short and wide towers were built along the side of the city, overlooking everything in the distance.
The walls of the towers were made of a marvellous murky-coloured rock, as if they were sculpted in a way that supported the infrastructure below the city.
Behind the city, in the background, water poured down towards the smaller towers in a narrow waterfall. The faint water particles that lingered in the air refracted the light coming from the sun and drew a beautiful multi-coloured rainbow that added vibrancy to the city.
Below the waterfall was a large lake encircled by beautiful white buildings.
In the middle of the lake was a small island where an enormous white building adorned in silver and gold stood. The light coming from the sun was perfectly reflected by the gold-coated areas of the building, further adding to its elegance.
"Welcome to Issanor."
A melodious and crisp voice rose in the air, waking me up from my daze.
Then, turning my head, I saw a beautiful elven lady greet us at the entrance of the portal.
With delicate features and beautiful hair that was a mix between gold and silver, I could immediately tell that she was a high-ranking member of the elves.
She wore a white tunic paired with breeches covered by long, thin robes.
Smiling kindly, she turned and extended her hand towards the city in the distance.
"Nice to meet you. I've heard a lot about you humans. My name is Aselia, and I will be bringing you to the city."
Then, turning around, she elegantly walked over a small pathway.
"Let's go."
The first one to follow her was Douglas, who stared at the city in the distance with a rare sparkle in his calm eyes.
Behind him, Waylan was the second to follow as he too looked at the city with a rare excitement.
