Once little more then a large cave beneath the city that provided direct access to the underground aquifer; generations of workers spent years carving out the underground cavern; using the existing tunnels and extremely dense rock they found for support. Crystal veins run to the surface and funnel the sunlight, keeping this place from feeling as much as a cave and more like a well lit building interior. Boats ferry much of the cargo over the waterways carved between neighborhoods; and people can be seen going about their business at all hours of the day and night. Several well protected stairways and tunnels lead back to the surface; and make sure that the two halves of the village never feel truly separated.
