Appearance
Gleaming spires come into view when in sight of Firsthold. High cliff palaces of the ancient capitol, and the Abecean Sea, can be seen from the royal palace balcony. The cathedrals of Firsthold are devoted to Auri-El. The great river Diceto passes through the royal parks of the city, where there are also hedge mazes and Kanthleaf plants.

History
Vanus Galerion, a Psijic of Artaeum, student of the famed Iachesis, and founder of the Mages Guild, first began operating out of the urban center of Firsthold. Almost immediately after the Mages Guild was formed in 2E 230 it had to hire guards, and the knightly Order of the Lamp was formed the following year.

The noted scholar Ahrtabazus published "The Faerie Chain" in Firsthold in 2E 456.

The Great Orrery at Firsthold, whose spheres are made up of genuine celestial mineral gathered by travelers during the Merethic Era, is the only legacy of the Sun Birds of Alinor. Their expeditions to Aetherius are among the most famous attempts in history, although they were eventually dissolved due to the untenable expenditures required to reach magic by magicka. The Sapiarchs reported that on the night of Princess Ayrenn's disappearance in 2E 563, the Great Orrery spun backward.

Barenziah's child, Morgiah, was once the Queen of Firsthold during the Third Era. Lady Gialene, daughter of the King of Skywatch, attempted to usurp Morgiah with help from the Trebbite Monks, who stirred the local peasants to a revolt, however Gialene was unsuccessful.
