Description

The city of Sal Rei is described as being "quietly busy" by Irwin and Wilson. As depicted in this picture, the city looks rather barren and plain. The streets, covered by sand and scree debris, are aligned in a grid pattern. City planners of Sal Rei made the cobblestone streets wide and planted an abundance of acacia trees around the city.
