}}
The city of '''Kae''' was one of the four Gate Town's of [[Elantris_(city)|Elantris]], which is the capital city of [[Arelon]] after the [[Reod]]. {{ref|b|
==Geography==
On Kae's western side, lies Elantris, while the foothills of the [[Dathreki Mountains]] are on its eastern side. {{ref|b|
Despite Kae's lack of fortifications, boasting an only five foot high stone wall and a very spread out and disorganised structure, it has not been attacked. This is due to the fact that small thieving bands are kept away by superstitions surrounding Elantris and larger thieving bands are often bribed by noblemen to stay away from them. {{ref|b|
==Economy and Politics==
Kae is the seat of Arelon's aristocracy. Due to this, it does not reflect Arelon's economic hardship and merchants exist to cater to and support the pompous tastes of the nobility. It is described as a lush, well maintained city, with no beggars in sight. {{ref|b|
At night, Kae is portrayed as a sea of flickering lights, which is another sign of its wealth, {{ref|b|
A few things around the city are reminiscent of the glory days of Elantris. Those include the sewer system, which used to supply every household in Kae with running water {{ref|b|
==History==
Just before the [[Invasion of Arelon]] , Kae is described as a cold and lifeless, its economy no longer weak, but completely destroyed by the political uncertainty after Duke [[Telrii]]'s ascension to the throne. {{ref|b|
