Vild'Thorel
"We crossed through the fertile farmland and onto the bridge covering the mile-wide river. From our perch on this bridge, I could see even more farmland for miles and a bustling river port. Ahead of us, we saw the tips of the Imperial Palace in the far distance. Its height was perhaps rivaled only by the towering Skyport, which had several sky ships docked. We were granted swift entry into the southern gate and had the endless possibilities of the Grand Sprawl before us. We had arrived in Vild'Thorel."

Ports
The city boasts two ports along the Donvia River which it uses for trade, travel, and recreation.Bridges
The Donvia River is crossed in two places by tall bridges that allow for ships to pass under. Designed by a joint team of Gnomes and Dwarves, these two mighty bridges may just outlast the city itself.Sewers
The city has a vast sewer network running beneath most of it. While this helps keep the city clean, it also provides a breeding ground for unsavory gangs of cutthroats, smugglers, and other criminals.Roads
The roads in the city are wide enough and have enough alleyways to allow for its crowded population to navigate alongside wagons and carriages. They are well maintained in most areas, the most notable exceptions being the roads in the Slums... if you could even call them roads.Skyport
The Skyport serves as an identifying landmark of the city. Buttressed up against the walls of the Sommet du Nuage, it climbs into the sky and invites wealthy travelers from the world over to come and enjoy the city.World Link
This beautiful pyramid of blue sapphire stands tall in the college district, radiating magical energy.
