Reywald is situated in the shade of the edges of Arbonesse, the entry port for most of the trade with the elves of Arbonesse and beyond. It is a bright, brilliant city with no walls built around a small but very deep lake. White stonetowers surround its great Twinned Cathedral. Similar towers can be found along the major roads from Salzbach and the Tomierran forest, and extending along the Arbonflow into the heart of the Arbonesse. These towers, all four stories in height, are permanent watch positions. These towers are staffed independently by units recruited from temples, adventuring groups, and military societies. Most towers have great bells, and the watchtowers maintain huge fire braziers as well. The Rey Towers are also staffed with spellcasters in the service of the Lord Arcane.
As a result of his constant vigilance, Reywald is an open city. Its city center is a resplendent jewel, and as one moves away from that city core, more large manors and small vassal communities appear. These large manors are the homes of the gentry and nobility in Reywald, and their land raises horses, cattle and sheep, with bucolic humans tending the flocks and herds.
