Haughten

Haughten is an Eldorian city in the 4th Edition Campaign.

It is on the continent Cloyr and is north of the city Navak. Haughten is the common name for the Eladrin city of  Qualelhávdrinnessén. Nobody who isn't Eladrin can correctly pronounce the fiddly title, or can be bothered trying, so the city was nicknnamed "The Haughty Eladrin City", which eventually became shortened to Haughten.

The constant population is almost solely Eladrin, with some Elves. Visitors come and go but never decide to settle in the shimmering city that was rumoured to have originated in the Feywild. To the eyes of creatures from the mortal plane, from afar the city seems to flicker, like the flame of a candle in the wind.

Most all who aspire to bend physics with sorcery visit the city, where magic is standard to the inhabitants. Nightly wizarding apprentices and the like please crowds in the streets with awesome displays of prowess, and once a year the Great Mage makes an appearance, slipping from his castle to wow the crowds with his latest mystical incantation.

It is the capital of history and literature, a place of great attraction to the learned and those who wish to become it. The authorities in Haughten are almost exclusively Eladrin, and they are very strict. Order is the key to keeping the city great. Common visitors are rarely given a warm welcome.

Haughten participates in The Order Of The Four, and is home to two companies: Lumber Leaders and Timber Traders. Both gather their resources from the nearby forest, and are vicious rivals to each other. Both companies also trade in The Great Trade Alliance.
