Alent (city)
From tgaWiki
Alent, previously known as Lutherin, is a grand city located at the heart of Libaterra. It serves as the seat of power for Archmage Jemuel and is the current base of operations for the Magicracy of Alent. It consists of a mix of old Alentian ruins that have risen from the ground and new buildings, because the reactor core explosion damaged the city heavily during the Great War.
At the centre of the city stands a grand ziggurat called Etemenanki, also known as the Temple of the Foundation of Heaven and Earth. It is larger and taller than any other building in the city, and a beacon of pure magic, known as the Beacon of Alent, shoots up in the sky through its throne room. There is a security checkpoint before the throne room, and elite guards stand there ever vigilant. The throne room itself is rather barren, but it does have the throne and an intricately carved map of the world on the floor next to the throne. The ziggurat also has the Lyceum, a large circular chamber with several podiums and tables, where the Council of Mages meets to have formal debates on matters related to magic.
The mercantile district, the forges and the docks are located in the west side of the city. The mage quarters and most of the towers are in the north, and many inns are located on the border between the mage quarter and the mercantile quarter. The engineer's quarter is in the south, and it is dominated by several large, nondescript buildings with very high security. There are barracks, some farms and homes of the lower class in the east which is largely underdeveloped and more open than the rest of the city.
