=='''The City of Towers'''== [[File:City_of_towers.jpg|thumb|right|400px|"Obtained by the crown after the death of its creator in most unfortunate and wholly unrelated circumstances, this painting by the legendary Talmiro of Alessia is often cited as a masterpiece in allegorical use of light. It combines painstaking authenticity to detail with grotesquely exaggerated proportions, lending it a fantastical air firmly grounded in reality that is widely claimed to portray the City more truthfully than any cartographer could ever hope to do - if the fabled spires are not quite as high as the clouds in fact, the Rock not quite so massive and the Palace upon it not so monstrously sprawling in reality, still, it is said, they are most certainly so in spirit and impression..."<br>- Countess Valesca of Poitain, ''A Catalog of the Royal Gallery of Wonders'']] ===The Nine Quarters=== The city has nine quarters arranged in a 3*3 pattern. The north-east Palace Quarter stands on a hill that overlooks the city, sloping gently to the Garden Quarter to its west, but falling in a steep cliff to the Granary Yards to its south. The city is surrounded by well-defended walls. Tanneries and kilns lie to the south-west, outside the walls. {| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center; width: 400px; height: 400px" | North-West<br>'''Tower Quarter''' | North<br>'''Garden Quarter''' | North-East<br>'''Palace Quarter''' |- | West<br>'''Craft Quarter''' | Center<br>'''Grand Bazaar''' | East<br>'''Granary Yards''' |- | South-West<br>'''Rabble Quarter''' | South<br>'''Caravan Quarter''' | South-East<br>'''Canal Docks''' |} ; Tower Quarter : temples, pagodas, astrologers' towers ; Garden Quarter : mansions , fountains, kiosks, maidens bringing cool sherbets ; Palace Quarter : royal apartments, harem, barracks, great library ; Craft Quarter : tailors, carpenters, weavers, jewellers ; Grand Bazaar : execution square, coffee shops, stalls, stalls, stalls ; Granary yards : huge silos of grain , rat-infested clusters of slum housing ; Rabble Quarter : slums, dens, dives, arena ; Caravan Quarter : tents, camels, windy dusty yard within the walls, merchant compounds ; Canal Docks : canal docks, rabble houses ===Naseer's Estate=== [[File:Garden.png]] [[File:Garden quarter.png]]
