*The huge cities are surrounded by lush greenery and crops

*All cities have streets lined with chora trees

*They all have many ornate towers linked with causeways, domes and arches

*There are monorails and walkways spanning towers

*Most people prefered to walk

*No pollution (pre-WoP and prolly in areas still strong in the Light ie. Hall of Servants HQ)

*Many gardens, fountains, trees in the cities

*Many spectator sports in the cities during the Downfall involved murder, torture, rape and war

*Rioting, panic common in cities on the verge of being taken by the Shadow

*Huge parts of the world have been devastated by the war

*Shadow is willing by the late years of the war to starve or murder whole populations to control the land/city

*Hall of Servants (Paaran Disen)-massive columned entrances, large ornate doorways and polished floors of glowing elstone with a greeter at the column

*In order of population and importance of major cities: Paaran Disen, M'Jinn, Comelle, Adanza, Mar Ruois, V'saine, Jalanda, Emer Dal, Paral, Halidar, Kemali, Tsomo Nasalle, Devaille (the 1st city to fall to the Shadow) and Tzora (specualation: These cites are prolly spread out around the world on many continents)

*V'saine -home of Collan Daan (a large university with blue and silver domes) and Sharom (huge white floating sphere), the top places for research and development; possibly on an idyllic island? (if this is where the Bore is located, which I think so, from Rand's vision in TSR)

*Comelle -coastal, overlooking the sea from a mountain side; its immense glass, crystal and metal structures cling to the rock like a flower

*Adanza -'thrives with a vitality in its beauty matched only by the vitality of the people'

*Tzora -known for its multihued geometric glass towers

*Paaran Disen -central seat of government and crown jewel of the world, the height of architecture

*Qual -where sha'je duels were held in the early years of the Downfall, not one of the major cities
