History
Selvek was built as the 'center' of the world when the Dwarves established their kingdom on the western continent and the Elves of Aknatta at the start of the second age. It has always seen itself as above the rest of the world, both literally and figuratively. It has always maintained a distance from the wider political happenings of the rest of the world.

Instead the city has always been the center of diplomacy, a place of meetings between the races. When the elven monarchy died out (of 'natural causes') in the late the other ruling families formed the first council at Selvek from which they ruled the Aknattan elvish realm. Each of the ruling families had a second home in the city.

During the war the majority of these families fled to the city, famously with the main exception of the Avurei family. When the elves realized that the war was lost, the ruling families surrendered and gave themselves up. Many of the population fled to the undercity, Tsuvarok where many escaped to their ancestral home in Stellaena. The Senoran forces executed the ruling families including the extended family members to prevent any of them starting an uprising. The city sustained minimal damage during the elvish war and there remain a small elvish population remains today.
