Overview of The Ancient City

The Ancient City may have once had other names, but these are known only to those whose task it is to study the past. To all others it is known simply as "The Ancient City". Some may claim to know other names for it, but these always turn out to be "The Ancient City" in some other of the many languages spoken there.

Much about The Ancient City can be understood in terms of its geography. (If you have Java enabled, the map you see here will have a border and will be clickable.)

Regions of and around the Ancient City:

• The Lower City on the lowlands between the cliffs and the seashore.
• The Upper City on the plateau.
• The Wizards' Quarter at the river mouth.
• The Scientists' Quarter, across the river from the main city.

Modern suburbs and urban sprawl are not shown on the map.
