​

The City is surrounded by a high, strong wall that no common scaling ladders can ascend; and the sky over the city is crisscrossed with thousands of strands of tarn wire. Even in the daytime it can be hard to see. It is there, however. The imponent Sun Gate is opened every day when dawn breaks and closed before the 16th Ahn.
The Avenue of Adminius is the main thoroughfare of Torcadino, it is busy and full of life during the day. To both sides of the Avenue are high cylinders and magnificent buildings, whose walls are "composed of the flat, narrow bricks common in southern Gorean architecture."
Among these cylinders, the Semnium -the Hall of the High Council of the City- stands out. "Low, broad steps lead to the entrance of the building and extend before it for the entire length of its portico." The original meaning of the word Semnium "is apparently 'Meeting Place', and its application to a building, or a hall for the meeting of councils, is, it seems, a later development."
