Marienburg

Marienburg is considered to be the largest trading hub in Aiandell and is the greatest of its ports, far more wondrous than even the city-states of Tilea. Straddling the center of the Turtle Islands as it drains the mainland into the Violet Sea, nearly all maritime trade that concerns Amar and Borinth happens here. It is a place of great wealth and great opportunity. It is a place despised by Borinth, despite its reliance on the fabulous port city’s good fortunes.
  A visitor to Marienburg can quickly be overwhelmed by the sheer size of this metropolis, with its innumerable islands, canals, and labyrinthine streets. So large is the city that many of its denizens rarely venture beyond their own districts, and can only speculate about what happens on the other side of the city.
  Anyone wishing to get anywhere in the city must cough up a few coins to pay for passage on one of the canals. Certainly, one could get where they want to go on foot, but the streets are so narrow, so twisting, it’s easy to get lost, swallowed whole by a city that always hungers for fresh meat.
  Thus the canals are the main thoroughfares, glistening with the oily sheen of filth, are filled with skiffs, rowboats, sailing ships, and even galleons come to pass through the city.
