Notes
Shining Reach lit its main streets first and the others followed. A city is judged partly by how far its Roelwym reaches — Shining Reach and Forgegate light most of the walled area, Stormharbor lights the harbor and the main way and nothing else, and the Iron Coves light whatever a given street has agreed to pay for.
Maintained by the city, and stealing from a Roelwym post is a magistrate matter everywhere.
