Leuththilspar is the capital of the island of Evermeet and lies on the east coast, situated at the mouth of the River Ardulith.[1] An area of grassland known as the Greenmeadow lies north of the city, across the river.[2] The elves believe that if Leuthilspar were to fall, it would bring an end to elves on Toril.[1]

[edit] Buildings
Most buildings are constructed magically, using materials from the ground to "grow" them. Some are made from alabaster or glass. Stone buildings are usually crafted from a single piece of rock. Those made from wood have roofs of magically created bark or leaves. Otherwise roofs are typically made from crystal or gems, causing them to glitter in sunlight.[1]
Notable buildings include the Hall of the Ancients, the Fountain of Stars, the Temple of the Seldarine, the Shrine of the Black Sword and the Moonstone Palace. Taverns include The Green Sword and Throleatha's Public House.
[edit] Harbour
Leuthilspar's deep sheltered harbour is filled by the River Ardulith. It is guarded by the leviathan Hamnuatha. A chain can be raised across its entrance to hinder the approach of hostile vessels. Ships dock at piers of wood or stone that have been magically grown upward from the sea bed. Most of the fleet is docked at Siiluth, but there are usually a number of elven ships docked here.[1]
[edit] Infrastructure
Many of the roads and streets of Leuthilspar are paved with crystal or gems, giving them glittering quality similar to the roofs. The main route through the city is Diamond Road, a shining smooth surface made from crystal that resembles diamond.
[edit] Defences
As of 1368 DR, the wizard Dhoelath plays an important part in the city's defences.[3]
