Built high atop a precipice overlooking the Sea of Gernat, the city is constructed like a citadel.  Large portions of  the precipice have given way during the earthquakes of the Dark Times, but the city stands.  Its stone walls are built in concentric circles, with the Cathedral of Almor, Third Bastian of Light, in the center.  Once the northernmost point in the Prelacy of Almor, many wars have been waged here.  The central cathedral is built from rock carved into the shape of a statue of Shammah, god of the sun.  The statue/tower stands with hands reaching toward the sky holding a great platinum shield.  Sun cannons top the church walls.

 

Throughout the city, artworks speak to the city’s knightly pursuits: frescoes of the seven-year war on Kontied; the first, second, and third wars of contrition; statues of heroes from these wars; statues of heroes from the Troubled War, Gaen’Told. Along the Road of the Righteous (which only lawful good may walk without fine, although this is not posted) are statues of Gareth Bryne, Pedron Nial, Heshrick Nial, Patem Nial, Hereft, Kinsar, etc…., in all ten generations of Shield Knight commanders.
