Sign me up!  I've got a city that the players will be visiting eventually for which I desperately need a map!  I'll give you a general description right now (I'm at work) and fill in more later if you need it.This city, named Topaz, is in a round valley surrounded by mountains.  The valley is about 25 miles in diameter, and is fairly fertile.  A waterfall comes down the mountain on the north side of the valley, and the resulting river is about as big as the Niagra.  The falls are actually about as powerful as Niagra too.  The river runs southwest out of the valley, where it has carved a narrow canyon.  Along the north shore of the river runs the main east/west caravan route for the whole continent.  The road runs into the city, and out the other side, where it climbs the mountains to the east, crosses the Ice Knife Pass, and then goes on to points east.Topaz has grown over the years, and now extends to both sides of the river.  Old Topaz is on the NW side, and is surrounded by a wall.  A wide stone bridge crosses the river into New Topaz.  The old city is home to the Topaz Castle, which houses the Duke, his family, his guards and other retainers.  Also found in the old city are all of the government offices, the homes of all the rich people, and the Arcanium.  This is one of only two colleges of magic in the world.  New city houses the merchants, craftsmen, servant classes, the Minotaur section (which is walled, gated, and heavily guarded by female Minotaurs with no sense of humor whatsoever) and a bustling marketplace.  The two parts of Topaz couldn't be more different.  Old Topaz is quiet and cultured, with tree-lined streets.  Other than the occaisonal student-wizard prank, nothing much out of the ordinary ever happens.  New Topaz is a wretched hive of scum & villany, where anything is for sale if you know who to ask.I can draw a feeble little diagram and scan it in today or tomorrow, to give you a better idea of where everything is situated. Tomorrow evening though, I'm going to see Two Towers, so I guess I had better make it tonight after I get home.</blockquote>
