Floating City (House V'strimmon)
At the center of Lake Ban lies the Floating City of House V’strimon. Five towers, arranged in the shape of a perfect pentagon around a sixth tower, form the foundation of the city. Hanging on and growing between these towers is a floating island of densely woven reeds more than 300 yards across at the widest point.
A hexagonal weave is used in the platform, which is composed solely from live specimens of the lake’s unique reed species. Tradition holds that the island is a single, living organism growing from a central root that extends all the way to the deepest part of Lake Ban. The reed island supports the weight of the city’s remaining structures, which include riverboat piers and buildings more than three stories tall.
