EleusisFrom AchaeaWiki
The village of Eleusis was officially formed in the month of Daedalan, 324 years after the fall of the Seleucarian Empire, by Covenant Stormcrow, Tearstorm Le'Yuet, Riakar Nakanishi, Elsp Le'Yuet, and Mysti La'Saen. It is led by a council made up of seven Leath-ris (literally, "half-kings") who are elected by popular vote. From these seven, one leader is chosen to be the Speaker of Eleusis. The Houses of The Sylvanic Fellowship and the Sentinels of Nature reside in the village, though members of the the Ancient Circle of Druids may gain citizenship to the village should they desire it. Eleusis is guarded by Tsol'aa archers, Dryad enchantresses, Briar Knights, woodland rangers, eleusian elementalists, and Treekin warriors, as well as its Greater Eidolon, the Guardian of Thorns.
Laws and PoliciesThe laws of Eleusis are in the form of Precepts, which can be found written on a cairn stone at the entrance to the village. Government and Political HistoryVillage Ranks

LandmarksThis small forestal village is rich with culture. It has grown immensely since adventurers started trampling through its branches just over a century ago, but still remains quaint and quiet, keeping its unique solitude. The entire village is a landmark in itself. No other "city-state" and indeed, no other village can claim to be anything like it. Upon entering the village, you must trek up a spiralled staircase which will take you up a level into the trees. You walk along the tree branches for wherever you need to go, only ever seeing ground level again if you wish to visit the Sentinel or Sylvan Househalls, the Eleusian Fields and stables, or the Temple of the River on the Zaphar River. The Gaian Vale, Eleusis' subdivision, may be found amid the Eleusian Fields. One may be inclined to visit Muria along the Oaken Way of Eleusis and hear her tales of Sentinel history. Central Hall in the Great Oak is the local meeting point of Eleusis. A great statue of Covenant Stormcrow, the first speaker of Eleusis, graces the hall, seemingly ready to come alive and belt out a yodel for all the world to hear. The Cauldron of Infinity can be found at the Tears of Eleusis, a permanent reminder of the War of the Divine Child (See also: City-relics). The Collosea en Duir, or "The Colosseum of the Oak" in common Achaean, is the Eleusian arena. This all-natural terrain arena can be found in the southwestern part of Eleusis. InhabitantsAside from the various guards found along the streets in Eleusis the following is a list of notable citizens worth mentioning:
FacilitiesThe main facilities of Eleusis are located along the top of the Great Oak while the forge can be found at the northern end of the fields, below the shopping district. Most of these services can be used by citizens and visitors alike.
ShoppingEleusis is unique in that it has few adventurer-run shops. The Eleusians enjoy the quaint atmosphere of their village and do not want the haven ruined with such things. Several proud merchants provide for the village, including the weaver Aemilie and the merchants Daestin and Semanthia.
Additionally, food for steeds can be purchased from Epona, Eleusian Cibeir. Dining and RecreationEleusis has several unique eateries that have regular visitors to the village coming back for more.
