Kabsal's evidence of the existence of the Almighty included this drawing of four cities and noting their natural symmetry.

It includes drawings of Akinah, Thaylen City, Vedenar, and Kholinar.

Analysis of four world cities and their underlying forms based on city plans found in the archives of the Palanaeum, Kharbranth.

Akinah

When one removes the current streets and main byways of Akinah, Thaylen City, Vedenar, and Kholinar and combines the street blocks into larger shapes, leaving behind the natural rock formations upon which these cities were originally built, the underlying pattern of the stone becomes more clear.

Thaylen City

The divine ten-part symmetry of Akinah is accentuated when the shape of the city is viewed from above, Amidst the lines of Thaylen City, a star pattern emerges. Twisting streets of Vedenar become an organized pattern of arrows and circles.

Vedenar

In the case of Kholinar, even the city walls follow the contours of the subcartograpal rock formations know as the windblades. The walls incorporate the formations, using them to augment the defensive strength of the city.

Kholinar

I am left wondering if this is a strange coincidence. And if not, then what doe sit all mean?
