## What does it look, smell and sound like?

Built between two stone pillars near a cliff, the city is of elven architecture and the buildings are made out of white, grey and beige stone. Many plants can be found throughout the city, giving it a lively and green feeling. The city seems to be very well kept. It's buildings look sturdy, altho some of them appear to be overgrow, but it appears to be intentional. Its roads are clean and almost without cracks and loose or missing stones. The roofs are mostly yellow and orange, with an occasional red here and there. The city is devided into two districts. The upper and lower. The lower part is positioned between the two pillars, the upper part is located on top of the cliffs, and stretches to the tops of both the pillars. Within the northern pillar, are carved rooms in which great fires are lit at night, and on top of the pillar, is built a castle with at its center a large tower, with a crystal at the top that radiates a warm golden light. Its purpose is to inform sailors that they have reached the harbour.

The city is overwhelmed with smells By the harbour those of fish, salt, spices, at the market that of leather and wood and metal. And through the streets that of flowers and grass and fresh vegetables. When there is a lot of wind, you will smell the salt everywhere in the city.

The city is loud. The wailing of the seagulls, the bells of towers, the cranes and ships and the hammering of metal, the sound of wheels rolling over the street, the laughter of children playing in the street, and the yells of a vendor can all be heard. The lower district is a lot more loudly than the upper district, as it lays far away from the bussy streets where most of the shops and workshops lay.

## Who governs it? Who else holds power? Is it part of a larger state?

The city is governed by Governess Fírima, and falls under the rule of the kingdom of Anarquendien. Fírima rules the city, but there are those that work directly below her, such as Ciryatur, the dockmaster.

## What are it’s defences?

The cliffs and sea are a large natural defence. The only entrance to the city is from the south, through the gate, which is guarded at all times.

## What fantastic elements distinguish it from an ordinary city?

The combination of the cliffs, the greenery and the elegant architecture make the city a sight to behold. It is especially beautifull at dawn when the rays of the sun shines inbetween the towers, at dusk when the skies turns orange, and at night when the golden crystal drowns the city in a warm and gentle light.
