El

The capital city of Sovyrian, El is the profoundly ancient and unspeakably beautiful heart of the elves' civilization. El has benefitted from millenia of peace, great wealth, and brilliant (and profoundly patient) artisans, who have slowly sculpted it into perfection. Every building is a unique masterpiece, seamlessly joining into each street, with each street a perfectly sculpted piece of each district, and so on. No matter what angle or distance from which one views El, it is always a perfectly proportioned and breathtaking work of art.

The Elven emperor makes his residence here, as does most of the elven nobility. In fact, the masters of nearly every craft and industry can reliably be found working in El. From within the city's mighty walls the massive elven army is coordinated, the greatest works of art and magic are crafted, and elven culture is created and maintained.

Many claim that El is the original home of the elves, as one can translate "elf" to mean literally "person from El". While El is certainly old enough for this to be a reasonable possibility, this view is not embraced by the elves of Golarion.
