Alicante »
Alicante, also know as the Glass City or City of Glass, is the home city of the Nephilim. It is the capital and only city of Idris. Here, The Council and several Shadowhunter families reside
The city is found in a shallow valley and divided by its river. Alicante rises up the sides of a steep hill on one side, and its houses piles atop one another. The construction is mostly in gold-and honey-colored stone, with red tiles roofs. From the river, canals have been dug of which the largest is Princewater Canal. Apart from its unusual demon towers, Alicante is a city of canals, since wells must be kept shallow to avoid piercing the adamas veins below the city.
By tradition, Downworlders are permitted to enter the city only through its orth gate.
