As the first batch of visitors to Frostleaf City after the Orc occupation, Yan Xing was grandly welcomed into the city.
This was also his first encounter with an Elven-style city.
Elves revere nature. In Snowland, they generally choose tall, straight trees to build treehouses, which, when linked together, form an Elven village.
This style is also brought into the architecture of Elven cities.
Without tall trees, Elves use stone to construct pillars as the foundation for buildings, then erect wooden houses atop these stone pillars. Some large structures require several gigantic stone pillars.
Vine bridges connect the wooden houses.
The roadways within Elven cities are therefore extremely complex. Their three-dimensional traffic network makes street fighting easy to defend but difficult to attack. Elves are proficient with bows and arrows and are light on their feet, making them very adept at this kind of jungle-like defensive warfare.
