Bonus points if it manages to evoke a certain time period and place while keeping that same distinctiveness that makes it fantastic.In my mind, no city is a proper fantasy city unless it is The Point of Light for a long distance, yet manages to be The Point of Darkness for an equally large radius. In a world full of forests of dangerous beasties, it should be that place which offers protection from the known ones while offering a few of it's own that the inhabitants watch out for. Definitely the kind of place one assumes parents will be warning their children about, but one that those same parents expect their kids to move to when they get older because of the opportunity.</blockquote>
