The city of '''Kae''' was one of the four Gategate Town'scities of [[Elantris_(city)|Elantris]], whichand isbecomes the capital city of [[Arelon]] after the [[Reod]]. {{book ref|Elantris|3}} The people of Kae try to ignore Elantris and its curse as much as they can, while Kae itself lies in the shadow of Elantris and seems like an insignificant village compared to it. {{book ref|Elantris|1}}
 
== Geography and Defenses ==
OnTo Kae's western side,west lies Elantris, while the foothills of the [[Dathreki Mountains]] arelie onto its easternthe sideeast. {{book ref|Elantris|3}} The [[Aredel River]] runs around the northern edge of the city, past the palace, {{book ref|Elantris|13}} and ultimately merges with the [[Sea of Fjorden]], which forms the bay that boasts the finest port on the northern Arelish coast. {{book ref|Elantris|2}}
Despite Kae's lack of fortifications, boastingthe ancity having only a five foot high stone wall around its border and a very spread out and disorganised structure, it has notalmost never been attacked. This is due to the fact that small thieving bands are kept away by superstitions surrounding Elantris and larger thieving bands are often bribed by noblemen to stay away from them. {{book ref|Elantris|6}} ThereAfter the [[Reod]] there is a total force of around 1000 soldiers in Kae, and; if Lord [[Eondel]]'s legion is added to those, there are just under 1500 soldiers. {{book ref|Elantris|15}}
 
== Economy and Politics ==
Post-Reod Kae is the seat of Arelon's aristocracy. Due to this, it does not reflect Arelon's economic hardship and merchants exist to cater to and support the pompous tastes of the nobility. It is described as a lush, well maintained city, with no beggars in sight. {{book ref|Elantris|2}} The absence of beggars is not due to the apparent wealth of Kae, but rather because King [[Iadon]] forbade beggars and if they were found, they were sent to the farms. {{book ref|Elantris|21}}
 
At night, Kae is portrayeddescribed as a sea of flickering lights, which is another sign of its wealth, {{book ref|Elantris|15}} and it is said to be one of the safest cities in [[Opelon]].{{book ref|Elantris|32}} The houses in Kae are said to be separated and squat in their build {{book ref|Elantris|60}}, with streetlamps scattered through the city and a circle of lights running around its formal border. {{book ref|Elantris|21}}
 
A few things around the city are reminiscent of the glory days of Elantris. Those include the sewer system, which used to supply every household in Kae with running water {{book ref|Elantris|32}}, and the perfectly circular wall surrounding the inner city, out of which Kae has spilled. {{book ref|Elantris|21}}
 
== History ==
Kae was built at the same time as Elantris and the other gate cities, in the shape of a massive [[Aon]] Rao. Elantrians and their human families lived in Elantris, and the gate cities were filled with other human citizens of Arelon. Elantrians formed the entirety of Arelon's government, and the rest of Arelon's populace was largely classless.
Just before the [[Invasion of Arelon]] , Kae is described as a cold and lifeless, its economy no longer weak, but completely destroyed by the political uncertainty after Duke [[Telrii]]'s ascension to the throne. {{book ref|Elantris|55}} During the Invasion of Arelon, Kae was the main battleground, with fires blazing through the city and [[Dakhor]] monks killing the population. {{book ref|Elantris|57}} After the invasion, Kae was near complete destruction. {{book ref|Elantris|62}} ▼
 
When the Reod struck, Elantris and its citizens were reduced to shells of their former selves, and in the upheaval that followed the Merchants' Guild, as the only organized group that was not reliant on the Elantrians, seized control. Iadon was crowned king and Kae became the new capital of Arelon, while the other gate cities depopulated as Arelon morphed into an agricultural economy.
