City Survivor - Round 3!

Last round: In the face of all-out invastion, the city of Palanthas- true to form- decided to roll over and let the other cities storm its streets. This time, there was no Tanis or Laurana to muster the troops in resistance.

Now it is time once more- which city do you think will fall before the awesome might of its competitors?

Again, for reference:

Barovia: If you don't know the name of this spooky little Ravenloft hamlet, you really should be shot- with a silver bullet.
City of Brass: The fabled extraplanar home of the evil efreeti.
Freeport: Avast ye! This be the main port o' call for Green Ronin's d20 materials!
Glantri City: This city is home of Mystara's Great School of Magic, and the centerpiece in all the political machinations of the magocracy.
Greyhawk City: The Free City of Gygaxian origination.
Lankhmar: Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser (and not those two similar guys from Greyhawk novels) call this place home.
Ptolus: The City by the Spire, this city boasts the largest visitor's guide known to man!
Sharn: Chief city of the world of Eberron, they've managed to solve overpopulation problems by building straight up!
Sigil: Another city by a spire, though this one's a little more remote. The planar hub of the multiverse.
Waterdeep: The most famous city in Faerun, and perhaps the largest; it also sits atop one of the largest man-made dungeons.

Barovia: Not a city, just the capital of a backwater county with a reclusive count. Surely he won't do anything if we raze it to the ground!

/boggle at people hating on Glantri City

Down with Barovia! 'Tis no city at all!

Death to Sigil!

Lets get rid of this D&D inner city.

Ditto that and the hatin' on Sigil.

My list of (hopeful) survivors:

City of Brass - A city of Genies on a plane of fire. How cool is that?
Freeport - Pirates. 'Nuff said.
Glantri City - The original magical city. Sharn is but a pale shadow.
Sigil - Grand-daddy metropolis of all time. Almost too cool to be beaten.

The rest of the cities can be cast into the abyss. But let's start with Barovia!

Also known as The City of Seven Score Thousand Smokes, where one cannot wear white or it turns grey with soot. Can anyone believe I still have my original AD&D supplements for Lankhmar?

Sigil, along with the Lady of Pain "Hi, I'm a being that will kill you for no good reason, but I'm not evil! In fact, I'm just the manifestation of male gamers' repressed masochistic fantasies of women!"

Plus she's a boring deus ex machina cum "a wizard did it" figure.
