Editing Thousand Cities:Centre (section)

===Karowyn===
:The island kingdom of Karowyn lies on a fractured landmass, shattered in a battle between Exalted warriors in the distant past. A single shipping lane has been dredged clear of debris, and is serviced by a small pier. The island's coastline is dominated by sheer cliffs, and a winding path leads upwards from the port.

:The interior contains steep-sided ravines, each spanned by a bridge of essense-spun steel cable. These paths lead to the main city in the island's heart. The capital of Karowyn lies in the bottom of a hemispherical crater - the result of a powerful protective charm used to parry the stroke that shattered the island. A spiral path leads down to the city.

:The city centre contains a temple, raised to the resonant point of the hemispherical valley. From here, chimes, gongs and bells can be heard across the island, and each window of the main tower can hear movement along one of the bridges. The temple can also control the width of the bridges by sounding that bridge's note - this can widen a bridge to let wagons cross, or narrow it to a hair's breadth.

:The island was briefly taken by Regolean troops in 1282AF, and freed by returning Exalts from the Guild, with the aid of Skadi and Ariadne.
