[[Sarine Elle | Sarine]] teleported off to some overwrought, underground, ridiculously ornate elven city when she got back from her unsettling encounter with [[Kawaii]] and [[Nookie]]. We don't know for sure that it's Praenubilus Astu, but there's [http://www.errantstory.com/archive.php?date=2006-06-14 pretty strong evidence] that it is. The [http://www.errantstory.com/archive.php?date=2006-05-01 image] of it that she sees on arrival suggests a combination of Manhattan, second-rate but gaudy hotel on the Las Vegas Strip, and underground missile complex in North Korea. No wonder she doesn't like the place. | [[Sarine Elle | Sarine]] teleported off to some overwrought, underground, ridiculously ornate elven city when she got back from her unsettling encounter with [[Kawaii]] and [[Nookie]].

Location
Apparently its exact location is a carefully guarded secret, unknown to the general population of non-elves.
The road to Praenubilus Astu
As Sarine explains here, all the old and ruined Elven Travel platforms were retrofitted with the latest Elven tech, while keeping their scruffy appearance. This gives the Rangers a private and clandestine travel network, seperate from the Tsuirakuan one.
The Travel platforms around Praenubilus Astu are all a fair walking distance from Praenubilus Astu for security reasons.
History
We discover here, that Praenubilus Astu is the last of the elven capitals and that all the others were destroyed in the Errant War. Sarine gives a quick rundown, referencing the human names;
- Farrel - Buldings built into the sides of trees. They were indefensible and destroyed early on.
- unknown - Something like Tsuiraku but even more pretentious.
- Emerylon, Veracia - Medieval style city with a big castle made of gold. It was destroyed and then looted. A thousand years later, it became the site of present-day Emerylon.
In this same conversation, it was confirmed that Praenubilus Astu is indeed the last of the elven cities, the former capital of the Cimmerii, and that most of the remaining Elves live there. Further, that Praenubilus Astu only survived because it is buried deeply underground, inside the mountain.
| Poe Notes:| |
- "Seth": Just because they're in an underground magical city doesn't mean that they don't Eat, Drink, Crap, & Breathe. There almost has to be a service entrance, sewer line, underground-river, or air shaft that they can exploit.
- "Poe": Those and all emergency escape routes are made in such a way that trying to enter the city through them would be extremly difficult too suicidal to do.
