Are there any other known descriptive names for cities, such as:

Waterdeep - "City of Splendors"
Silverymoon - "Gem of the North"
Calimport - "City of Glory"

Thay is often called the Red City for obvious reasons....

My latest Realms-based short story, about a bard, a paladin of Lathander and the letter of the law, Debts Repaid. It takes place before the "shattering" and gives the bard Arion a last gasp before he plunges into the present.http://candlekeep.com/campaign/logs/log-debts.htm

In the book I'm reading, Tangled Webs, they refer to Luskan as
"The Sailing City"

Yeah, I just finished that book, did you read daughter of the Drow first? I love Liriel Baenre and Fyodor of Rashem(spelling) the book was cool, is there a kit to play a berserker that has an animal transformation like fyodor and the other berserkers can do, if so, I'd really like to play one!
Is there a city name for Skullport other that the one mentioned in Tangled Webs?
