Sylyntyr

Sylyntyr, the Dappled City was a large Upper Underdark citystate on the northeastern shore of Lake Rend.
It was a large city of many levels with lots of houses, with three inner keep levels that led upward. Its mouth was a bridged dam over the inflow of the lake, on the river Thorn. Most the buildings of the city were made of dark bluish-grey heavy stone with gold veins, as well as beautiful marble with veins of gold that glittered in the midday twilight. It was surprisingly beautiful. To them, gold was worth as much as cut stone - it was a building material. 
Their main goods were gold-veined marble and seafood, and their markets were a culture hub of the Underdark. It was a melting pot of cultures. Shops owned by people like Xelym were everywhere. 
The city's greatest landmark was the Beacon of Dusk. The tallest, marble tower in the city had a head like a flanged mace, and it emitted a slowly spinning pale sickly green beam of light. It was visible from very far away, and was the most beautiful sight in the city easily.
The ruler of Sylyntyr was Lady Xenna Knifetongue. She was an absolute ruler - the people of the city certainly idolised her, but she was quick to quell dissenters. 
The guardia of the city included the Knights of the Beacon, black plate clad drow and duergar with forked swords, pointed hammers and bearing the flag of the city.
