Qualinost was the former capital of Qualinesti, and was located on the eastern border of the Mithranhana Forest, on a defensible plateau surrounded on three sides by the White Rage River and on the south by the Tharkadan Mountains. Four towers rose from each corner of the city, crafted from stone of brilliant white marble and gilded in silver and crystal. Graceful sweeping metallic arches connected one tower to the next.
The arches appeared so delicate as to look as if they may bend, but created by ancient dwarven metalsmiths to be strong enough to hold the weight of an army. The arches high above the city formed the only man-made boundary of the city as the elves preferred to leave their city open to nature.
Following the signing of the Swordsheath Scroll after the Kinslayer War, Kith-Kanan took his followers west and founded the elven kingdom of Qualinesti. The architecture of the city was a mixture of dwarven craftsmanship and elven grace that enhance nature, but did not overpower it. Most of the buildings were crafted from rose-colored quartz, that were surrounded by gardens.
Qualinost is the largest elvish community in region. It is located in the immense forest known as Qualinesti. The popular saying amongst most Qualinesti elves who live in Qualinost is "The Stars Protect Us". There is a long, slender bridge, created by uncountable interwoven branches and flowers.
During autumn, when the leaves change colour, the entire bridge turns dazzlingly shade of red. This has been the home where some of the members of the Heroes of the Spears were raised as well as Tanis Half-Elven and Princess Laurana Kanan.
