Prague, Czech Republic as…Caemlyn
Caemlyn is one of the most beautiful cities in the land. It sits like a “gleaming crown upon its gently rolling hills.” The city is actually made up of two sections: the New City and the ancient Inner City, a stark contrast between past and present.
According to The World of Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time, Caemlyn is surrounded by a great 50-foot wall of silver white stone. “Buildings cluster thickly like lichen to a log, spreading outward from the glittering mosaic of the city in a gradual dispersion. Within its outer walls the city is laid out in a crazy quilt of streets and byways, with towers and domes gleaming white and gold in the sun.”
Prague seems to fit the bill. It is a massive city with both old and new architecture, rich history, and a variety of ornate buildings that fit the descriptions of those in Caemlyn. Light, Prague even has an Old Town and a New Town. The Church of Saint Nicholas would work as one of the domes of the city, and the Powder Tower would serve as one of Caemlyn’s mighty tower structures.
