White Bridges is the second biggest city in the Dragon Empire (first being the capitol, City Beneath Rock, with over 50 000 inhabitants), placed on the shore of Casuna river, where the river Mals connects to it, in the Creek Valley.

It is named like that thanks to the four floating bridges that connect the city and the villages on the other shore of the river. Where a normal bridge would be an obstacle to river transportation and trading, floating bridges can be easily dissassembled for a boat to pass.

Ruled by a a local counsel residing in the Rulestate, it is a center of trade and a crossroads for traders from almost any place on the continent. It attracts not only vendors, but anybody who wants to get a chance in life. Not everybody succeds though, and those who fail usually end up in the poor suburbia, known as Wretchtown.

It is also the only city in the Empire to maintain a sidhe embassy.

I spend a whole day drawing this, just because I was inspired. And because my players in an RPG campaign will sooner or later end up in White Bridges.
The bridges didn't come out too good, but the whole thing looks better in reality overall, so no big deal, I suppose.
