Bashal-Talab

Bashal-Talab, the City of Doors, is thusly named for its wooden foundations. In broader Arberia, where brick, clay, and hardened sand consist of the nation's building blocks, doorways are an uncommon fixture, especially as open spaces far better permit the air through. In Bashal-Talab, the architecture becomes a lot more western, but it maintains its Arberian flavorings, making heavy use of spires, domes, pillars, and arches - it's just that they happen to be wooden. Aside from its unique architecture, Bashal-Talab is well-known as a haven for drugs and brothels, as well as other darker elements which are not quite as endorsed by the city's governor.
