That makes a 1,000 ft long "little island", large enough for the odd event when two jewels arrive at the same time (and they could just fly around not to overload the guards collecting taxes if it happened). The Concord Jewels are supposed to carry "tons" of goods and "hundreds" of people. Not "thousands", and if needed two could dock easily on this island... even if it would be logistically better to have them dock one after the other to manage clearing duties and for trader the transfer of their goods to storage warehouses in the city.Edit: HOWEVER, I'd very much like my players to decide to become smugglers along the Radiant Citadel and try to actually implement bypassing solutions like jumping with their cargo outside of their inbound Crown Jewels and fly in the Ethereal to try and board a departing Crown Jewel in order to avoird a 20% entry tax on their goods they'd be subjected to by landing on the Passage of Respite. It could be an adventure in itself, setting up this orbiting shanty town and trying to convince traders to jump off the ship to fight the taxes and stick it to the government, pirate way!!Or there could be a new landmark that one can see fainly in the setting light of the Deep Ethereal, a humanoid form called the Orbiting Economist, that once attempted to jump from a CJ to another in order to evade the rightful taxes, but missed and, as he is devoid of mode of transportation, just ends up circling eternally, with his crate of tax-free cargo, in the timeless void, around the Auroral Diamond as a testimonial of why tax dodging for the sake of tax dodging can be ultimately unwise and whose sorry fate is discussed in civic education class (as part of the free education given to all children, of course, on the Radiant Citadel). [Some in Foggy Bottom say it is actually a Sorcerer from one of the days where the village wasn't attacked].</blockquote>
