Mhilamniir is a large temple city that acts as a focal point for elven clergy in the North and gives the realm of Eaerlann considerable strength and influence.

Mhilamniir is known as 'The Temple City of Eaerlann' because it contains numerous temples dedicated to deities of the Seldarine pantheon. It sits on Starsong Hill, the ancestral home of the Starsong clan who dedicated their holdings to building the city.

The mythal surrounding Mhilamniir protects the city by affecting intruders with illusions and compulsions to leave as they approach. It also prevents certain creatures from seeing or entering the city.
