Taglios
From Glen Cook Wiki
Taglios is an enormous city on the southeast bank of a great river, about forty miles inland from the sea as the crow flies (but two hundred by the river), straddling a tributary that snakes between a half-dozen low hills. Its full name is Trogo Taglios - Trogo is an older city long since swallowed by Taglios - but few refer to the city this way. Trogo retains its identity only because it is the seat of the lords of the greater principiate, its governmental and religious center. Taglios is a vast sprawl without a protective wall, still growing rapidly, horizontally instead of vertically; it is the largest city Croaker has ever seen.
