A fairly large city, in the southern reaches of Orkesh. The area is known for thick jungle and treacherous swamps, but civilization has also managed to bloom there.
The city itself is largely built into and around the enormous trees (some of the largest in the world). Most of the affluent live higher amongst the trees, while the less well-off and working class live closer to or at the bases, relying on the root structures and harder dirt to keep their homes from slowly sinking into the grounds.
Of interest, this even applies to the dead, as they're either left on platforms for large predators to pick the bones clean, or taken to the swamps to be carefully disposed of and returned to the earth.
