Caer Argent: capital city of the Southern Realm’s dukedom of Emer

.

“They first glimpsed Caer Argent in the late afternoon, sunshine flashing off the city’s famous spires as they emerged from an avenue of oak trees that spanned the road. The river flashed, too, a broad ribbon that bent across the Argent vale, bisecting a tapestry of orchards and fields, villages and great houses, that merged gradually into the haze of city roofs. “The ducal palace and Imuln’s temple are on an island that was the original Caer Argent,” Audin explained, “although the city’s expanded to either side now. Mostly to this side, because of Maraval forest to the west, but the tourney and fair grounds are on the Maraval side. That’s why it makes sense for us to cross at Argenthithe, rather than going through the city.”
