Handy was impressed. The city lay three quarters across a valley between two soaring mountains. The two sides of the mountains facing each other had castles and structures build upon them all the way down to lowtown in the valley below where the city was bisected by a river. The tan buildings and rich brown roofing accented by dark stone work were stark against the light greys of the mountains and the greens and blues of the valley and sky. They had gotten a good look at it outside their carriage windows as the train rounded a bend and descended the mountain into the valley. The place was swarming with griffons.
