The high general walks with them through the city, most every citizen clad in armor of some sort with weaponry that looked to be way too big for any of them to wield which showed a distinct lack of border between soldier and citizen. The city itself however appears to all be one, solid rock carved entirely out of the same mountain with a rather strange precision in the more heavily crowded outer sections, though there seems to be an entire block of the city devoted to each individual pursuit, whether that be trade, military training, schooling, agriculture, or other wise, making everything rather streamlined and surprisingly orderly despite the obvious lack of technology. The High general takes solaire and the emperor to what looks to be a gardening block with strange flowers being cultivated by, surprisingly, a nearly entirely all male staff despite gardening normally being thought to be a womanly pursuit. While the flowers themselves appeared to be ordinary, their interactions with each other were not as they seemed to be generating some sort of passive mystical energy that's then funneled into odd contraptions that then push the energy into large stone pools which appear to be full of a strange blue liquid, the staff experimenting on it in the background while the High General leads the two into a shaded stall with a table and various storage chests, shelves, and cupboards strewn about.
