Raised obelisks with pristine [[Technology#Lightstones\|lightstones]] mark out three [[constellations]] across the rebuilt harbour - [the Stallion]], [[the Door]], and [[the Great Wyrm]] itself. An open plaza inlaid with hexagonal flagstones of white granite serves as a focal point, with most of the important buildings associated with the harbour built around the periphery. Between the harbour and the [[spire]] proper are the well-maintained, carefully laid out trees of a public park that is a popular place for citizens of Elos to relax and consider the day. The new harbour is, by even the most critical accounts, a thing of beauty.		Today the harbour is a wonder indeed, a far cry from the previous sleepy coastal village.

	The only part of the harbour that is not the responsibility of the Elosian Architect is the so-called [[Quaymaster_of_the_Elosian_Docks#Elosian_Docks\|Elosian Docks]], which are sometimes referred to these days as the ''Hesychian Quays''. Built a year before the work on the new harbour was undertaken, they are used by [[Axos\|Axou]] traders to deliver amounts of [[white granite]] in return for [[dragonbone]] and overseen by the [[Quaymaster of the Elosian Docks]].
