The Elven Monarch also maintains a residence in the city which is reserved for the exclusive use of the leader of the Dragon Riders, a massive tree which accom
modates the apartment of the Riders' leader as well as an eyrie for the leader's dragon. The apartment at the very top of the tree (stairs spiral around the trunk to lead up to the crown) consists of two storeys. On the first level is a circular vestibule, from which three screen doors lead to different chambers. The first is an elegant dining room which can hold up to ten people (presumably when the leader wishes to dine with fellow Riders, Elven royalty, military figures or foreign dignitaries); the second door leads to a bathroom with a tub carved into the floor; the third door leads to a bedroom with a magnificent view of Du Weldenvarden and a fireplace. There is a gap in the outer wall of the bedroom for the leader's dragon to fly in and settle in a massive bowl in the floor lined with blankets; in bad weather this gap can be closed with a screen.

A spiral staircase winds up around a wooden chimney, leading to the second level of the apartment, where there is a well-equipped wooden study, handsomely furnished with a writing desk and space for books; here there is yet another gap in the wall and another padded roost for a dragon to settle into when studying with the Rider. When Eragon and Saphira enter Ellesméra, they are the first of the new order of Dragon Riders, and so are given the leader's apartments.

The elves sing to the trees and forest for their needs.  All of their homes are sung from the trees, and are a part of the trees.
