Sacred 2:Thylysium

The visual style and atmosphere the Elven capital resembles that of the ancient imperial capital cities like Rome. The most humble of buildings are made out of fine materials, and the most important buildings are made from the rarest materials in all of Ancaria. The dark and mystical decorations of the temples are eye-catching, and the countless lines of T-Energy in the alleys, that flow through the town like veins in a leaf, are also striking. With the exception of the battle arena and the area where the nobility resides, the town is primarily defined by three central places: City Hall, the Great Temple and the harbor.

City Hall and the Temple represent the two major powers in Elven society, the nobility and the clerics. They have been fighting each other for centuries, trying to gain leverage in the ongoing struggle for power. Corruption and crime are commonplace. Outside of the power struggle, the large harbor acts as the worldly and logistical center of the city. But where there is light, there's also shadow... Away from the city center of the nobles and clerics, Human slaves live in a separate quarter. In a striking contrast to the opulence of the rest of the city, the Human quarter is dirty and composed of ramshackle buildings made of the meanest materials.

Thylysium is the biggest and greatest city of Ancaria. It is a symbol for the power and dominance of the High Elves, but a closer look also reveals a very good picture of the real state of the realm.
