    "overview": "Ael\u0027theryn stands as the oldest city on the continent of Siniath and the greatest achievement in Kaelotaedhel architecture.\n\nLying on the northern coast of, what is nowadays known as, the Triumvirate of Thalon, it was supposedly founded back in the Second Age. The name of it\u0027s founder has long been forgotten and these days is only referred to as the \"Great Teacher\".\n\nThe exact role of this \"Great Teacher\" is shrouded in mystery, but one thing is certain, that it was a elven wizard. The very layout of the city and it\u0027s inhabitants\u0027 attention to detail speak of the work of no ordinary being. It is also known as the first ever city to delve into the art of magic on a bigger scale.\n\nThe ancient towers overlooking the sea seem to defy logic, both in their magnificence and their architecture.\n\nNo one knows how the Great Teacher did it, but Ael\u0027theryn has never been breached since it\u0027s creation. The Great Teacher must have had unimaginable power.\n\nThere are many rumours surrounding the city and it\u0027s founding. Some say, that the Great teacher did not die but, rather, went into a state of hibernation to awaken whenever his power was needed again.\n\nAel\u0027theryn now serves as the capital of the continent spanning nation known as the Triumvirate of Thalon.\n\nLike the nation it lies in, the city is ruled by the Council of Thalon. It consists of the three heads of the most powerful houses in the country.\n\nMost of the inhabitants of Ael\u0027theryn are wizards. They are respected and feared throughout the land, but also very secluded. When the city was founded, magic was so chaotic that it was very hard to control. It resulted in a calamity that changed the landscape, which is why the Council of Thalon now rules with an iron fist to prevent severe breaches of magical laws.",
