| Plane | Ikoria |
Drannith is the largest city on the plane of Eldraine, a human sanctuary with tens of thousands of residents.[1]
Description
Located on the lush plain of Egali in the lowlands of Savai, it's rooted by a gigantic crystal pillar, the Argalith. The Argalith is the largest single crystal on the plane and a symbol of hope and protection for Drannith's residents. The Argalith forms the city's central axle and is the foundation of Drannith's magical defenses against monsters.
The city is protected by concentric circles of high stone walls. Drannith's highly trained military is second to none at warding off monster attacks; according to the inhabitants, its walls have never fallen since their creation. Apparently, Drannith was founded in a time when humanity's numbers were wearing thin, which is perhaps why an unforgiving fear of monsters is rooted deep in their culture and ideological leadership. According to a mythos, it were the continued attacks of Snapdax against human settlements that forced the survivorsi to build the fortified city.

Soldiers use pikes, ballistae, nets, and other anti-monster weaponry to keep monsters at bay, while Mages engage monsters directly with attack spells and defensive enchantments and help maintain the crystal alarm system that warns of incoming monsters.
Both monsters and bonders are rejected from the city.
