Nodding his head to her he watched her as she slung her bag over her back, wrinkling his nose at this he turned his head slightly. "Dorroen, the ladies luggage if you please." His strong melodic voice ushering an elf far shorter then the two Quel to come forward. The short elf was clearly also Trelorean, but of the Sylvyn race that lived within the Forest of Mists. Relieving the lady of her bag Dorroen retreated a respectable distance from the two as they made their way along the Walk of Honor.
The two strolled quietly down the street, Tala'nayn pointing out the District Amber that ran along the west side of the Walk of Honor from the gates halfway to the Emerald Gardens. Kedyn could see the low marble wall that sectioned it off and the six spiraling white towers that soared into the air representing six of the Aetherians. The largest building within the Amber District was shaped like a giant crabs shell, Tala'nayn explained that the building housed all the religious members of the city, the homeless, orphans, mentally infirm and ill. It was known as the Cloisters of Faith and was one of the holiest buildings in the city apart from the temples for the great amounts of good those that worked within did.
As they continued along the main road they were greeted by the many passerby that said a particular hello to Tala'nayn due to his status as a member of the E'braeyl household. "Ah yes, the politics of The Combine is something you will come to know very well if you chose to stay within Syl'rosya." Saying this with a sigh as he pointed out far distant spires. "That there is the Citadel of Elm within the Opal District, that is where you would want to go if you had any interest in government or law." Lowering his arm he looked ahead. "Ah, good the Emerald Gardens, finally."
They had come to the end of the Walk of Honor and were greeted by a most beautiful site. The dominant feature of the stockade city, the Emerald Gardens, the central park of the cramped city. The dark green and blue grasses shone in the light of the suns, large swaths of multicolored flowers and flower draped bushes could be seen everywhere. Benches of various woods and stone depicting animals and elvish heroes were placed in pairs or around cool running fountains. In the center of the park Kedyn could see the magical hanging gardens of the druids, the many plants and flowers hanging in thin air flowing towards the ground. So too could she see the tree of seasons, the large tree with multicolored leaves to represent the seasons.
"So my lady, tell me what brought you away from the homeland to the land of the Empire?" Asking as they took their first few steps onto the thick grass of the Gardens.
