Legend

this ancient, walled city was the ostensible capital of Acherin, and was one of just three cities found on the entire planet. Eluthan was built atop a plateau, and was designed for both fortification and for beauty. The thick, stone walls were formed from contrasting colors of stone, giving the exterior walls an artistic pattern that made the city appear more like a sculpture than a well-defended settlement. The roads ands alleyways within Eluthan were laud out in a haphazard manner, lacking any sort of grid. Most buildings within the walls were created from a bronze-colored stone, and were no more than a couple of stories tall. The natives of Acherin considered the city to one of their most cherished treasures, and fought to preserve it against any attacks. During the final stages of the Clone Wars, the native Acherin population supported the Separatists, and established their military base within the walls of Eluthan. In the wake of the Clone Wars, much of the city was demolished when Imperial forces in orbit around Acherin bombarded the city, in an effort to root out any resistance from General Toma and his rebels.
