The Colony is a single white citadel a thousand feet high, housing three hundred elf colonists overlooking the sea. It is the colony vessel which transported the elves here and that hilt which protrudes above the surface is a fragment of that great lance which is buried to the hilt below it.
While the hilt is effectivly a city with residential space, and a library, the structure below which consists of the ship drives and mineral extraction systems delves three thousand feet downward penetrating rock, caverns, and deep ocean.
The Mountains of Madness
In the distance the Mountains of Madness, a fragment of the ruined planetary core, protrudes skyward, its magnetic field causing a strange yellow-white haze in the sky.
Around the colony is some of the teraformed ecosystem, a single tangled vine like tree whose roots burrow into soil across much of the surface of the world creating a thick canopy that shields the ground from the sky and turns much of the hostile atmosphere into breathable air.
The leaves are a food source meeting the nutritional requirements of the elves.
