Vitrea

Overview
Vitrea is a city in the Feywild led by an Aristocracy. Much of the city is made of glass that imitates the appearance of foliage and twisting vines and branches. The High Elves who live in Vitrea are very long lived. A lot of people think that the city itself is front against the chaotic nature of the Feywild. Citizens of Vitrea may point out the design is a tribute to the chaos. The irony of a permanent tribute to the ever-changing is probably not lost on Caledwyr, and thus he likely went for a change of pace.

As for the aristocracy, it changes as nobles go in and out of favor. At the moment Mya and Failond Turnglass are siblings who are de facto leaders. Mya is an Archduchess married to Rivell Elmbough, who comes from a family of renowned magicians. Her brother Failond is a Marquis with many friends, and few enemies that are both alive and in political favor. He knows that public shunning is even more effective than having someone offed.

Ranks of nobility don't pass to family members in a line of succession automatically, but that is often the case as the process of joining the aristocracy is essentially by invitation, and appointments are given when agreed upon by a quorum of people of the appropriate rank.

Everyone in the city is trying to claw their way to the top. The most chaotic thing in Vitrea may be the alliances of convenience. Children learn magic or swordplay or crafts in order to become Scholars, Soldiers, or Artisans who strive to be Deans, Officers, or Guildmasters in order to become valuable enough to do the right favors for the right people.

Naturally, there are a lot of people who have no chance of rising through ranks. Bastard half-elves like Renton included. There are also other fey creatures who do day to day things. Ethical debates over tricking fey creatures into temporary or extended servitude really aren't had. If a creature makes a deal and it didn't think appropriately about the phrasing, that will be water under the bridge soon enough.
