Infrastructure
Several bridges and many docks and waterwheels line the river enveloped by Thankastel. The roads are paved with stone blocks, and lined with magical iron lamps, giving it an appearance almost like that of a Victorian city.

Thankastel lacks much in the way of resources itself, producing only fish. Nearby farms produce products such as grain and wool, but are not officially part of Thankastel.
