ELUCIEN
The Shadow Court
Elucian used to be the Kingdom of the Shadow Fae but was destroyed during the Shadow Purge. Is a town of ruins right now, but used to be a city full of activity and happiness. I imagine the 'Night Court' in the ACOTAR books. The Shadow Court is a blend of light and dark, with snow capped mountains and trees, and an active village. Located on the edge of The Woodlands it's reflective of the moon and stars, glimmering on the city in an enchanting light with plenty of shadow to draw from. Some days the city is covered in an eery mist. Across the city flows a sprawling river.
The Shadow Court used to be home to many intriguing creatures: Shadow Fae, demons, wraiths, gargoyls, wyverns.
