Radenzokunt

Radenzokunt, the City of Mist, the White Tower, Oak Valley, City in the Swamp, et. al...

From " The Last Testament of Eskan'din",  a children's book about mythical explorer Eskan'din, loosely based on the life of Sotasa Dinzo. :

" From the highest peak he looked down upon the valley and saw, rising from the dark sea of forest, the top of the White Tower glinting in the  light of the sun as it rose above the shadow of the mountain"

From " Notes on the Southern Lands " by 3rd-century explorer Sotasa Dinzo:

"The Red City is mythical, but very real. Impossible, but yet existing. Or at least, that's how my father described it when I was younger. In reality, it's a lot more boring than it sounds.

True, the White Keep is quite pretty from a distance when the sunrise comes over the mountains, but up close it's a different story.

Radenzokunt, as the locals call it, has three main attractions: Firstly, the White Keep itself. Secondly, the Historian's Guild is headquartered there. Thirdly, it is a true fortress, having never been conquered in it's near century of existence.

Located in the middle of a swamp, the city offers a great deal of isolation to its residents. Few roads find their way into the valley, and fewer find their way out. The only viable means of transportation to and from the city is by boat, and the way is treacherous.

Two large islands make up the bulk of the city, while the rest spills out from the several bridges that connect it with the mainland. Here, the fishermen and other common folk reside."

On the southern island sits both the Historian's Guild and the White Keep. It is split into two sections: the middle-class lower section and the upper-class upper section surrounding the Keep. The buildings are largely of stone with wooden supports, and a few gardens fill the spaaaaaace between houses.

The northern island contains the main marketplace of the city and the majority of the guild houses, two temples, and barracks."
