This is a great start. You provide just enough information to get a feel for the city. If you are interested to expand the article you could dive a bit more into the diversity of species, and how they get along. Do people for example hold their breath when trolls and dwarves cross path because that typically can lead to disputes? Another question to ask is, how does the city provide for the tourists that visit and stay for a while. Are there for example tours that are organized? Do they sleep in inns or another type of lodging? Why is it a popular tourist destination? I hope this can give you a bit of an idea in case you would like to write a bit more about this city. :)
Thank you for the questions! These are great additions, and I've updated the article to reflect some of them. I also plan to add some more. :D
I'm glad I could be of some help. :D
