The Imperial City is the capital of Cyrodiil and the whole of the Empire. It is located on City Isle, an island in Lake Rumare in the Nibenay Valley, at the center of the Imperial province, and is circular in shape. In the middle of the circle that is the city is the Green Emperor Way district, containing the Imperial Palace and its White Gold Tower. Surrounding it are six districts, starting from twelve o'clock and going clockwise:
Also on the island is the Arcane University, the Imperial Prison and the Waterfront, which is the harbor of the Imperial City. A single bridge connects the island to the mainland near Weye. Roads lead from the capital in all directions.
[edit] The Sewer System
Underneath the Imperial City is a sewer system as large as the city itself. The sewers can be accessed from most districts of the city; there are also a few entrances outside of the city. The sewer system is a fairly complex maze. The east and west sections of the sewer do not connect to each other, but within those sections there are many interconnections.
[edit] The Eastern Sewers
The sewers that connect together on the east half of the city are (from north to south):
- The North Tunnel (accessed from the Imperial Sewers N. Exit).
- The Market Sewers (under the Market District).
- Beneath the Bloodworks (under the Arena District, but not accessible from there).
- The Palace Sewers.
- The South East Tunnel (under the Arboretum, and also accessible from the Imperial Sewers SE. Exit).
[edit] The Western Sewers
The sewers that connect together on the west half of the city are (from north to south):
- The Elven Garden Sewers (under the Elven Gardens District).
- This sewer system also contains Sunken Sewers and Sewer Waterworks.
- The Talos Plaza Sewers (under the Talos Plaza District).
- The Temple Sewers (under the Temple District, but not accessible from there).
- This sewer system also contains The South West Tunnel.
[edit] Other Sewers
There is an additional unconnected piece of the sewer:
- Imperial Prison Sewer, which should be familiar to all players as part of the tutorial.
