Caemlyn is the capital city of Andor. There are three distinct parts of Caemlyn: the Inner City, the New City, and Low Caemlyn. The Inner City lies on the highest hills of the city and is surrounded by a wall of gleaming white stone streaked with silver. The main gate to the Inner City is the Origan Gate. Many of the buildings here were build by Ogier, including the Royal Palace, which is surrounded by many beautiful thin white toweres capped by golden domes. The roads in the Inner City follow the curves of the hills and all lead to the Royal Palace. Dotten among the building in this part of the city are beautiful parks with monuments. The Inner City is designed to look good from any angle, especially when seen from above.
The New City encircles the Inner City and is bordered by a fifty feet high, gray stone wall, which has many white towers along its length. Gates into the New City are flanked by even taller white towers. It was built long after the Inner City, it is less than two thousand years old, and has no Ogier stonework as the Ogier had returned to their stedding when it was built. Most of the building have red-tiled roofs. Wide boulevards thread through the New City towards the Inner City and are divided into two by a row of trees and grass.
Low Caemlyn lies outside of the city's walls; the building here are made of gray stone, red brick and have white-plastered walls and are, more often than not, three or four stories tall. This part is a sprawling mass of houses, inns and warehouses.
The Queen's Guard keeps the peace in Caemlyn and most areas of Andor. The guards wear red undercoats and cloaks and gleaming white collars and cuffs. They are commanded by the Captain-General, Birgitte.
Ever since Tarmon Gai'don, Caemlyn has been full to bursting with refugees of the Last Battle. People lost from all over the nations seek protection in the city.
