Berdusk

Berdusk is a city of tall, close-crowded stone buildings with high pitched roofs. Its narrow streets are set with many drains leading to large sewers, all to cope with the heavy winter snowfalls. In its center is a rocky tor kept tree-clad and open, as a park, by the High Lady. From this tor rises the Clearspring, or River Sulduskoon. A second rocky knoll, to the northwest, is crowned by the High Lady’s Castle, surrounded by slopes below by the temples, shrines, and high houses of the rich.
Berdusk has no nobility, but it does have a wealthy upper class. They all tend to dwell close to the castle, amid the better taverns and feasthalls. Around the houses of the wealthy are the three-to-four story houses of the merchant middle class. A typical tall house of this type has a shop or office at street level, a storage cellar below, the owner’s abode above, and one or two floors of apartments above that. “Colder than a Berduskian attic in winter” is a Realms-wide saying based in cold, (very cold) fact.
