On the 13th of Daedalan, 882 AF, 558 years from the day of its contemporary re-founding, the dulcet tones of the Nymphean Octave rose towards the heavens in a soaring refrain sung in triumphant exultation of long-awaited consolidation as the village of Eleusis became a representative theocracy. | |||

Upon entering the village, you must trek up a spiraled 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 House halls, '''the Eleusian Fields''' and stables, the bait shop, or the lush chapel on the [[Zaphar River]]. The [[Gaian Vale]], Eleusis' subdivision, may be found near the river. | ||
One may be inclined to visit [[Muria]] along the '''Oaken Way''' of Eleusis and hear her tales of Sentinel history. Unveiled by Lady Gaia, find the [[Viridian Charter]] cast against the Great Oak. Its golden script can be seen throughout Eleusis, but read more clearly by the arboreal ramparts near the '''Central Hall in the Great Oak''', a local meeting place of Eleusis. A great statue of [[Covenant|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. Moving beyond the subdivision and the bait shop, a lush chapel overlooks the river, holding within the Flame of Nature and Altars reflecting different environments. | One may be inclined to visit [[Muria]] along the '''Oaken Way''' of Eleusis and hear her tales of Sentinel history.
