Falinia

The capital city of Fanaria, Falinia was built a little over six hundred years ago by King Zaloft the Third. Moving the capital from the founding city of Mistcliff. The city contains just over seventy thousand residents with hundreds of people passing through each day. Built on top of a hill, the Palace situated at the peak, with the city sprawling below, the city is encompassed by a series of three walls. The outermost is an exceptional masterpiece of the time standing fifty feet tall, thirty feet wide, concrete reinforced masonry in an octagon around the entire city. The inner wall is a more modest thirty feet high and fifteen feet wide, and the wall surrounding the palace complex is only twenty feet high, ten feet wide. Despite the walls shrinking in height, due to the slope of the hill, each stands above the last.

There are four major gates into the city at the various cardinal direction, but no roads lead directly from the outer gates to the inner gates. Although the city has wide central roads that allow for wagons to pass each other and designated areas for foot traffic, the roads are short, and one often has to detour onto roads running parallel to the walls several times to reach the inner city. The Inner Wall matches the outer wall in shape and gates, but the Inner city is laid out in a more direct manner. Efficient roads run straight without obstruction. Large Warehouses, and Noble Mansions are common as the land plots are larger, although there are several underground bunkers used as shelters for civilians in the area as well. The area lacks in trade compared to the Outer city, although there are a few craftsmen that have afforded a plot within.

The city contains a complex sewer system under it, using the slope of the hill to facilitate the flow of waste better. With access points in many alleys and side roads, none on the main roads, they're a favorite for thieves that can stand the smell to get around unnoticed, although many forsake them because the smell does cling and make them noticeable afterwards.
