A map of an elven city from one of my novels. Their society is highly class-based. Since they worship the moon, the higher classes live closer to the peak of the mountain.

The purple area at the top is reserved for priests, politicians, and those in charge of the city.

The middle area with lots of small trees and orange lights is for the middle/high class - important merchants, doctors, lawyers, scientists, and all sorts of educated people.

The brightly-lit area near the bottom is reserved for the working class. The population there is dense. Some live in the tall trees that have been cultivated there centuries ago. While the higher areas are more filled with nature, this part of the city is more reminiscent of the cities we know, where nature is only used partially in parks and for some decoration.

At the foot of the mountain is the poor district. This area is filled with small houses stacked nearly next to each other, to accommodate a large number of elves who simply cannot afford better living. About 42% of the city's population lives here.

To the left of the poor district are the farms. These stretch far from the mountain and provide food for the residents. Those who live and work there are held in high esteem. To live so far from the moon by choice, in order to provide for the people, is considered a great sacrifice.

Once per year, the elves go on a "pilgrimage" to the temple at the top of the mountain, carrying a lantern of blue soul fire. It is said that this magical flame can carry the souls of the departed into the afterlife. Almost all elves participate in this nightly climb. (which is why there are the blue dots in the top two districts.)
