Once a stronghold of trade and agriculture, it grew into something greater following the appearance of [[the Companion]], a radiant second sun that hangs eternally above the city, bathing it in constant light and driving back undead and creatures of darkness, transforming Elturel into a beacon for pilgrims, refugees, and those seeking protection.
