The city of Claybourne was built at the base of a rugged mountain of Virtara Fjord. Its grace is matched by the backdrop of frost covered mountains, and majestic wilderness of birches. The materials these forests brought were of great importance, but they were also influential when it came to architectural designs as the vast majority of buildings have been built with timber from those very same forests. Various cultures have left their mark not just on the city's development, but also upon the city's identity.
