Silgrad Tower from the Ashes

Alrighty here is the lore from the Infernal City

Quote:Rimmen had elegant bones of ivory-coloured stone with few towers but many domes. Soldiers-human soldiers-met them at the gate, searched them, questioned them, and eventually passed them through. For another hundred yards they snaked throught the twists and turns of an entry overlooked by platforms for archers, mages, and seige weapons. That brought them to the market, a bustling, colourful plaza empty in the middle but girdled by tents and stalls and bounded by canals. A broad avenue flanked by even more expansive waterways continued on to what was clearly the palace, an ancient-looking structure raised up on a high, tiered stone substructure. The tiers held some buildings, and apparently earth, because he could see trees growing there. Surmounting that was a cylindrical building with a large golden dome. Water cascaded down the sided of the palace, feeding the pool that encircled it. Attrebus wondered where all the water came from. Off to the eastern side of the palace, he could see the odd curly-edged roof of what had to be the Akaviri temple Annaig had mentioned.

Quote:"I've always wanted to see Rimmen," she told him. "They say the Akaviri built a magnificent shrine there, the Tonenaka. They say it houses ten thousand statues. And the canals are said to be amazing."

Quote:He was surprised that fewer than half of the peopl he saw were Khajiit, and many of those lolled about with wild or vancant eyes, skooma pipes clutched in their hands. It was a strange sight in an open, ublic square. He began to understand Lesspa and her people better. They left the plaza, crossing a canal on a footbridge and thence down a narrow street, where gently chiming bells were depended between the flat roofs of the buildings and viridiam moths fluttered in the shadows. The addicts were even thicker here, a few watching them and holding out their hands for money; but most were shivering lost in their visions. They arrived at their destination, a smaller square with a fortified building surrounded by guards in purple surcoats and red sashes. A sign proclaimed to be Kingdom of Rimmen State Store.

And the layout i've drawn up from the description is below:

Now the city is rather large in the book, but we can thry to give an impression of size in a smaller space by having lots of twisting and turning alleys, and buildings all squeezed together.
