The city were originally founded by the Lindskiarn and even though conqured by force and set to fire there is still many parts of it which are clearly of Lindskiarn design. One of the most famous is the road of eight. It is a broad and perfectly straigth and level road, which goes from one gate to another. The road is paved with identical hexagon slates who all fit perfectly together. The road is in mint condition, and even when someone have tried to excavate the slates it have been impossible to move them. Visiting dwarves who have examined the road declares that it is protected by the magic of perfection. Human scholars rebuffs it and claims it is protected by ordinary magical charms who probably are ingraved bemneath the road and therefore haven´t been found.
