Round City

The Round City was the oldest and most prestigious district in all of the city of al-Zawira, where the palace of the caliph sat. This part of the city predated al-Zawira, as its walls were built in the 2nd century, four centuries before al-Zawira would become the seat of power of the caliphs. It was also known as Inner City.

The city walls were celebrated for their impressive feat of describing aa perfect circle of two li across. The Grand Temple, built in the 4th century, was the largest Qamarist temple anywhere. The Prince's Palace, was one of the many palaces of the caliph, and the Judge's Court or the Dancer's Palace were another, being the Silver Garden in the way between these two last palaces. Other places were the Gardens of the Earthly Paradise, the Court of Wisdom, or the Court of Beasts.
