 The ruler of Armethalieh is Arch-Mage Lycaelon Tavadon.A notable difference between the city and other locations in the "Obsidian Trilogy" world is that it is solely inhabited by humans, and in fact, people of the "Lesser Races" are persecuted and disallowed entry to the city.The name, "City of a Thousand Bells" is derived from Armethalieh's extensive magically linked network of bells.
