Bhavyatapura

Bhavyatapura, the City of Splendor, also known as the Heart of the World, the City of Wonders, and even Bhavyatapura the World City, was the largest and most complex city in the world. Located in the midst of the fertile plains atop the immense plateau known as Sonagiri. Bhavyatapura was a huge metropolis that had absorbed a variety of smaller cities, along with many towns and villages. It extended for many miles along the great river known as Himapaat, and for many miles back from both banks of the river. Its citizens were known as the Sheelavaan. Many rivalries and alliances existed in this massive, rambling city. It was claimed that one might know a hundred languages there. Path of Waves, p. 42, 199-200
== Districts ==
The most important subdivision of Bhavyatapura was into districts known as Nirga. Each Nirga roughly corresponded to the former boundaries of a large town or city that had been absorbed into Bhavyatapura. These predecessor cities were surrounded by walls built for defense and for controlling access and trade, and most of these old walls still remained in place. It was generally accepted that there were fifteen Nirga, recognized by the council, but there could be as many as twentyone or as few as ten. Path of Waves, p. 201
