Waterdeep

Although not as large as the Capital of Scenia, Beglio, Waterdeep is still a thriving city at around 140k inhabitants. For the lucky few that have either been born there or were able to visit, no other city can really compare to it. It is half built on the remnants of a glacier of magic imbued ice that never melts. The glacier arches over the lower parts of the city before plunging into the ocean and atop it is the fortress monastery of Waterdeep, home of the Valkyries. The surrounding area around the glacier is filled with concentric circles of houses steadily going higher as each circle gets closer to the glacier referred to as Malar's Staircase. Although it is a thriving city they are still at the most eastern part of Scenia and thus extremely secluded from the rest of the mainland. The inhabitants of Waterdeep are more accustomed to meeting citizens of the Imperium of Man than they are even of Afren of the East of Scenia. 
The city itself is mostly autnomous relying mostly on fishing in exchange for the agricultural goods that can't be grown in this part of the world. Much like the Imperium of Man, history and their proximity to Osmar has shaped these people into warrior people that trust their weapons and their gods more than other people. Children are expected to hunt down large monsters terrorising nearby villages or fishing expeditions before they are truly accepted within the ranks of this city. The ones who refuse to hunt are sent out of Scenia to make their lives on their own south of the border. Those who are not able to hunt these beasts are kindly told to try again until they succeed or die.
