Eldemy

Introduction
Eldemy is the name used for both the major city of the region and the peninsula where the city is located.

Eldemy has a well-protected harbor, a central location and access to nearyby waterways, making it a hub of commerce and culture in the known lands.

Geography
The city of Eldemy lies on the southern edge of the peninsula. Most of the land of the peninsula is used for agriculture. No part of the peninsula is unexplored or unmapped.

Pillars of Bahamut
Four large pillars protect the peninsula from creatures and forces that wander the rest of the known lands. Between each pair of pillars exists a fiery wall that is nearly impassable. Between the inland pillars is a gap that is heavily guarded and acts as a gate for travelers coming traveling into and out of the peninsula. The pillars were erected by a powerful Bahamut cleric, named Stoth, about 300 years ago.

Politics
The Eldemy peninsula is ruled by Elkis, Duke of Eldemy. He is ninth in the line of the House of Elkis, the noble house that took control when the Empire of Man fell. Although the Duke holds no overt power over the rest of the known lands, he is recognized as the leader of the most powerful and wealthy city in the region. Other nobles will often defer to his will, so as not to endager their domain's relationship with Eldemy.

The city is run by an elected mayor. He hold real power, but also is the sole recipient of criticism when things go awry.
