Editing User:Bill/Magocracy of Dholavira (section)

===Description===
Dholavira is a very large city, approximate population of one million, situated between two storm-water channels, the Mansar to the north and Manhar to the south, in a warm to temperate plain. During the summer months, the monsoon season, these channels flood the plain with run-off; effectively turning Dholavira into an island surrounded by enormous salt marshes. During the winter months the marshes dry, leaving huge deposits of salt that the inhabitants collect for export. Dholavira's primary purpose and source of wealth is acting as a trade center.

The city is heavily fortified and exceptionally well planned. It is divided into three main districts; the citadel, the middle town, and the lower town. The citadel and bailey house the eldrich council, their families, servants and retainers as well as laboratories where the council members continue to expand their mystical power. The middle town is a lavishly appointed district combining temples, the homes of the wealthy, and two stadiums as well as a number of smaller parks. The lower town houses farmers, laborers, and herdsmen, their families and the markets. Lodging for travelers is most common in the lower town, but wealthy traders are frequently hosted by partners residing in the middle town, and dignitaries from foreign lands are customarily given rooms in the citadel. A prominent feature of Dholavira are its many reservoirs and citywide irrigation system; which purifies and stores the water from the Mansar and Manhar, supplies fresh water to the entire population, and carries sewage away from the city. Contained within pipes and ducts, some as tall as a man, water ways and sewers criss-cross the whole of Dholavira.
