Geography
Shinvar isn't in the harshest of the stormlands, but neither is it some soft-skinned northern land. Buildings there are built low and squat, sturdy sides pointed westward toward the Origin, like the shoulder of a man set and ready to take the force of an impact. Windows are placed only on the eastward side. Like the grass and the trees there, humankind had learned to weather the storms.
The city is built upon the side of a steep incline and is wedge-shaped, as if it is built into a wide crack, with the open side toward the south.
