The Great Burning is an event roughly equivalent to the Great London Fire or Great Chicago Fire. I was thinking that, by law, all structures in Ellindam proper must be made of nonflammable materials to keep that from happening again.I am not, but it looks most useful. The city is very definitely a green place in the most current iteration. The further back one would go, the less green places there would be, especially in the poorer areas (which would have been Hackwark and Waveswith).Ah yes. I'll add in an "undercity" where the "underground" is. Imagine not only interconnected shopping malls but also having a subway system to get to them!As the map is now, someone with a rowboat could definitely navigate the whole thing. I might change the river's size and course a bit so there's an extension inland.I'll see if I can figure those out, but I'll most likely use the locks and weirs that the Thames has since that's what I'm basing it on.I mean, there's a huge underground area and so that sort of thing would fit in. They'd exist in the 60 m to 122 m range that's still well-kept but off-limits to the general public, though some of the old water-driven hammer mills probably have classes visiting them as museums.Mostly something like Manhattan Schist, though minerals akin to Fordham Gneiss and Inwood Marble would be there too. I could see the upper areas being pretty good loam. Whether it was formed by normal geological processes is a question I don't have an answer to, especially given the existence of Elemental Planes and Deities. The lake is definitely fresh water. One might argue it's the freshest of waters since it comes directly from the Elemental Plane of Water. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> That said, it's (so far) never gone over its banks due to the rift producing too much water. Floods do occur, but it's always due to excessive rain. Of course, when drought comes it's never much lower than it is either.The Bay would definitely be brackish, and if the area were less settled would have a lot of marshes where Hackwark and Waveswith meet it. The Sea is still salty here. I'll try and figure out more names for things, though suggestions are appreciated. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
