	When it comes to horses, Loenthrans breed several coveted varieties, including a pure white horse with amethyst-hued eyes called an ''ilanithe''. Many believe that alchemy or other sorts of magical manipulations went into the development of this breed, but regardless, the end result is a beautiful horse much coveted by royalty and nobility. Of course, fashions come and go, and the whims of the wealthy turn with each fancy wind that brushes against them. Indeed, currently, the ilanithe is out of fashion with the monarchy and velvety black steeds with white stars on their foreheads known as ''saerniel'' are in vogue. That is not to say that the ilanithe is abandoned -- they are beautiful and remain an integral export to others within the Nations.

	As an aside, the name is believed to reference the family who first bred an ilanithe, but no one is quite positive. Some claim that the "-ithe" is the Elven suffix referencing large bodies of water, and one legend builds on this. It claims Imaera blessed a lake and the first mating pair to drink from it ~~because~~ the progenitors of the ilanithe breed.

The artisans of Ta'Loenthra are renowned for their creative production and avant-garde approach in their respective crafts, and in turn, farmers and merchants strive to send the best quality ingredients and materials to the city in hopes that they may also gain some recognition alongside the artisan and the latest creation.

	Ships, by both air and sea, bring raw materials into the ports every morning, their merchants eagerly awaited by an elected council of retired artisans and apprentices who are charged with inspecting the cargo arriving on Loenthran shores. Importers vie to be graded and permitted to bring their wares into Ta'Loenthra, from the smallest iron nail to the tallest log of redwood, there is always an expert to consult and evaluate to ensure that the artisans are provided with the quality they expect. Every new material is likened to a ball of wet clay, ready to be refined and perfected through Loenthran hands.

	Port cities grow where commerce flourishes, so other than the inland-set royal seridal, the oldest parts of Ta'Loenthra line the riverbanks and southern ocean-set cliff edges. Canals spread from the river throughout the city, surrounding or bisecting the various seridals and neighborhoods. Ornate bridges arch over the canals, and ''ilaveun'' (a ~~type~~ of ~~canal~~ ~~boat~~) float along their waters.		Port cities grow where commerce flourishes, so other than the inland-set royal seridal, the oldest parts of Ta'Loenthra line the riverbanks and southern ocean-set cliff edges. Canals spread from the river throughout the city, surrounding or bisecting the various seridals and neighborhoods. Ornate bridges arch over the canals, and ''ilaveun'' (those small, slender boats used for carrying small groups of people from place to place along the canals) float along their waters.

	Goods traverse the canals on small, gaily decorated but still utilitarian barges, taking items from the various docks to the numerous warehouses across the city. However, transportation of people and goods is secondary in the minds of the Loenthran artists. At any given time of day or night, one can find painters floating in carefully positioned ''ilaveun~~'' (those small, slender boats used for carrying small groups of people from place to place along the canals)~~, either finishing their latest masterpiece or displaying their works on easels designed to catch the eye of others boating by. It has been said by some that painters who capture the glistening waters and all they reflect are the most sensitive and skilled of artisans. Of course, this is a controversial and highly debated stance between the various schools of artistic thought.

	Where needed, series of locks allow boats to navigate up or down uneven terrain, each set a masterpiece of artistry. For example, one seridal sits on a small rise, and its locks are decorated with intricate tile murals depicting the founding of Ta'Loenthra and each of its guilds. Labyrinthine metalwork and greenery are popular methods for decorating the necessary mechanisms as well.
