Description
Quor Haligor is a city-state at the midwestern coast of Amadir, in the D&D campaign I'm running.

With over five hundred thousand inhabitants, it is the largest and oldest city in Amadir. Over four and a half thousand years ago, it was the capital of the High Elves, but when they were forced to retreat due to the threat of the Khadar, they abandoned Quor Haligor and left this jewel to Cerfall. It was not until two hundred years later that humans resettled the overgrown city and repopulated it. Sanasthalion the Lightborn, the spiritual father of the elves at the time, finally gave the city to the new inhabitants as thanks for their future support in an alliance against the Khadar. Since then, the Gate of the World, as Quor Haligor translates, has been in the hands of a council that is freely elected by the inhabitants.

Slave trade, the possession of slaves and human trafficking itself are forbidden and punished in Quor Haligor, compared to most other cities in Amadir. Other trade, be it in anything, flourishes here, especially on the waterways. Of course, this also means that the west coast near the city is teeming with pirates. However, as a trading empire and also the headquarters of the trading moguls Yemeni, Arayani, Mazgul and several other smaller trading dynasties, Quor Haligor also maintains the strongest naval force in Amadir and is well protected against their raids.

Apart from slaves, everything is traded in Quor Haligor. The goods it exports from its own sources are ores such as gold, silver, copper and iron, but basalt, wood, fabrics and spices, fruit, vegetables and grain, fish, meat and gemstones are also mined, cut, collected and produced around Quor Haligor. In addition to all the craft workshops you can imagine, there is also an academy where magic is taught in the town, which is built on the coast and above a small archipelago in the waters in front of it. There are three prisons, a separate government district with a government palace, taverns, pubs, street vendors, brothels, inns and, only in Quor Haligor, a tamer and trader for the priceless Stormbirds... huge flying animals that can be ridden or used to transport goods quickly by air.

Quor Haligor is built vertically on several levels and the areas built on the archipelago are connected by a large number of bridges and mechanical elevators. A true masterpiece of architecture and engineering.

Quor Haligor is also a jewel for the eyes of the beholder... narrow, almost delicate-looking, towering buildings that are lovingly decorated and overgrown with plants. The sun shines here all year round and it is always blissfully warm. The hanging gardens, flower terraces and deep, shady street canyons, from which the smells of exotic food and spices emanate, can make you forget to breathe.
