Lyrabar

Lyrabar is a long, narrow coastal metropolis clinging to a cliffed shore and rebuilt harbor, where marble palaces and wind-tossed masts crowd a ribbon of streets a mile long; old wealth and new trade mingle with the shadow of Thayan intrigue and a powerful clerical presence, creating a city of grand public face and private bargains.
