Structure
The city spans across a series of enormous, flat-topped stone terraces.[2] There are at least a dozen of them, each of which being separated by multiple streams. These streams crossed the terraces and would drop of the edge down to the next terrace. The water eventually makes its way back to the river, which flows toward Elendel. These streams make it possible to traverse the city with gondolas. The gondolas are not only used to get from one terrace to another, but also from part of a terrace to another part. However, traveling is not limited to just gondolas. They built ramps for people who would prefer to us a carriage, and bridges that allow people to travel by foot.
On average the houses are smaller than those in Elendal. There are only a few apartment buildings and Wax only notes three skyscrapers. Although the terraces constrain the boundaries of the city, it is large enough to hold the population. This leaves room for many parks and streams.
New Seran is loud because the waterfalls. Wax finds the sound comparable to that of an earthquake or explosion.[2]
