Yuanshi City was an ancient, majestic metropolis that served as the seat of authority for the orthodox faction of Yen-Lu.
The stone streets were worn by centuries of footsteps, wide canals reflected the tiled roofs, and tiers of skyscrapers where the residents of the city communed.
Somehow, the city felt older than the regime that governed it. Its laws, rituals, and institutions were layered like sediments.
It was quite the surreal experience for Adam, who aimlessly wandered through the streets, sipping on sake and occasionally munching on steamed dumplings.
Yuanshi was built in broad rings.
The outer ring held markets, docks, and artisans. The middle ring contained residential wards, embassies of various clans and sects, and training courts. The innermost ring surrounded the grand headquarters of the Arcane Alliance, as well as several other administrative buildings.
