Andon

Andon sits just an hour and a half's ride from the Great Gate and is the closest city to it, nearly all diplomacy with The Thebilum Empire used to be carried out from here.

Demographics and Population
This is one of the most diverse wood elf cities with species from every nation on Tanalier, it started with the large number of embassies being built in the city, to be as close as they can to the Great Gate. These embassies lead to many people moving to the city to work within or around the embassies, this then in turn drew other wealthy Mer-Renians to the area as more amenities were built and the look of the area was improved. After the Great Gate was closed the embassy staff were slowly let go of as less funds were directed to embassies that couldn't contact the country they were meant to be diplomats to.

History
Andon was a far more important and influential city before the Great Gate was closed now its is waning but is still a popular destination for wealthy High Elves to visit in the winter since it still holds some of its former decidence.

Architecture
The Architecture of The Diplomat District is a mix of Torlundiean, Mer-Rieanian and Thebilum while the rest of the city is more elven in design, especially the Ichnel District.

Districts
The Diplomat District was renames this after many embassies began to use this district as their base of operations.

Ichnel District, one of the poorer parts of the city that houses almost exclusively Wood Elves.
