Azure Rock
Azure Rock is a grand city of stone, rising sharply out of the sea at it's feet. flanked on either side by high, dark cliffs.
Fisheries down at the docks and coastline hum with noise and the smell of fish is think on the air. You then pass up winding, cobbled lanes to reach the town centre where can be found all manner of different shops and stalls selling everything from precious jewels to finely crafted furniture. The city centre is heaving with throngs of people, and the artisans are happy to try and tempt would-be patrons into their arms. However not all of the passers by are native Azurians, many have come to this island looking for fortune or adventure.
Looking down back at the docks one can see the magnitude of what they have passed, the greatest harbour they have ever laid eyes upon, a marvel of craftsmanship, looking more like fortifications than a simple port. and ships as far as the eyes can see, heading in all directions, some to the settlements across the straights, others heading down the coast, and yet others heading out into the open seas.
If this traveler continues back up the hillside they will pass yet more stone building in their usual dull white, grey and cream hues. lower down the hill these can be found with moss and other matter growing on them, but higher up they become much more pristine.
After awhile they will be confronted by the imposing and unavoidable glare of the three main buildings in Azure Rock;

After awhile they will be confronted by the imposing and unavoidable glare of the three main buildings in Azure Rock;
- The mighty University of Bergenwerth, here is where the finest minds in all the land learn their craft, and is where many visitors seek to enlighten themselves.
- The stunning Astral Clocktower, the map room where scholars from Bergenwerth poor over texts, relics and artifacts to gain deeper understands of the other worlds beyond theirs. As well as seeking to equip Azurian Sailors with the knowledge they need.
- And finally, beyond these two structures lies the eerie and foreboding Castle Cainhurst, palace of Queen Annalise Cainhurst, current ruler of Azure Rock, and the final member of The Last Line of Kings.
