"Of Sand and Sun, Sea and Shadows"'
Description
As a very old city, most of Alexandria shows the former glory of the city prior to the bombing by the British. The Dreamscape is moderate, and most people dream of the breezes that come off the Mediterrainian sea. At the outer edges of the city are ancient buildings that stand empty, made of stone. In the waking world they reside under the water, but in the Dreamscape, Kallisto keeps them solid and dry. The Library of Alexandria stands against a constant late afternoon sun. Other parts of the city can be seen at night, but a late afternoon sun shines in the Dreamscape there.
Districts
Heliopolis
Heliopolis is the the western most district, the two harbors, great pier and the Lighthouse of Pharos. Countless ships in the styles of ancient Greece and Rome lie at anchor here, some drift from place to place while others are docked to be loaded or unloaded. Closest to the docks is the Grand Marketplace where dreaming mortals and Oneiroi haggle and trade goods both mundane and fantastic.
