Delia, the Citadel Spire

Delia is an island nation in the Western sea, famous for it's Citadel Spire and unassailable city walls. Delia is a world capital of learning, home of the world’s first and greatest university. In times long ago, Delia had a proud tradition of spreading democracy by force, using its great navy to form many colonies, one of which was the Spiral city of Cassia.

Eventually, the Delian empire was overextended, and it's resources exhausted attempting to quell uprising after uprising across it's holdings. Delia fell into isolation and decadence until it was conquered, ironically, by it's former colony Cassia.

Home to many high elves, Delia has a culture that prizes the citizen soldier, and served as an inspiration for cassia's own development. The University at the Citadel still educates the young elite from all regions of the known world.
