Well, Ariel's capital is constructed on the slopes of a small mountain, and the area around it. This was done for multiple reasons, primarily resources and defense (the enemy will always be fighting uphill), and it has a very difficult mountain range on one side to help deny an approach. The capital is in the northern territories, in Halfling lands, and it is surrounded by fertile farmlands. However, between Orcs, Nomads and Halflings, Nomads are the most populous. The city is quite sloping, and streets zig-zag up it. It is quite medieval, a healthy mixture of European renaissance architecture and more Arabian themes. Ariel has also placed quite a few enchantments on it. While Onyx is cloaked in eternal darkness, Castiel is forever bathed in True Light. She also caused a stream of life to spring up high in the mountains and flow down through the city. The stream flows down from the peak in six separate directions, and it is around those streams that Castiel was built. That spring has turned the city and the land around it into a fertile utopia. She also cast a spell to instill in the minds of the citizens a sense of greater purpose, so they would work harder. At one point, early in Castiel's development, Vladak attempted to cast a plague and multiple dark forces over the mountain city. Ariel, in defiance, consecrated the land and shielded it from further Death or Chaos spells.
