Elig

Elig (EH-lick) sits atop Elge Yland [EL-jay EYE-land] in the marshes of Sanfhéith, which constitute the northern half of Shire Grentesca in the Kingdom of Myrce.

History

The city originated with the foundation of a joint monastery and abbey by Ætheldryd Tondbrif in A.I 1427, a mile to the north of the abandoned village of Cractiden on Elge Yland.

Siomon Walchelin began construction of a temple in A.I. 1437, and Castle Ciris was built in A.I. 1497.

Trone Academy, a day and boarding school, was founded in A.I. 1524 by the local religious orders. Ecgwulf Cenwhyn issued a royal charter for the school in A.I. 1541, and granted the first annual Fair in A.I. 1543.

Castle Ciris fell in A.I. 1570, and no visible traces remain. A windmill stands on the hill where the castle once rose above the town.

Economy

Elig is the center of local pottery production, due to the nearby clay quarry. Other important activities include the harvesting of osier and sedge, the extraction of peat, eel fishing, and wild fowling.

The Acemanne Road, which connects Cyrneceast to Verlumion, runs through the town, providing a continuous flow of visitors.
