I think this will be partly speculative, but I'm trying to build a reasonable map of Ghirapur to use for my Aether Revolt league in my playgroup. Can people check my assumptions against their own mental image/any facts I may have missed in my admittedly spotty research so far?
By three major rivers, I assume that means like Pittsburgh, where two rivers come together to form a third one, dividing the city into roughly thirds.
Districts are the Greenwheel, Freejam, Eleven Bridges, Embraal, Weldfast, Bomat, and Kujar?
Seems like Eleven Bridges is in the center, and also along the Dukhara Canal, so I guess the canal must connect two of the rivers, and this district falls in the resulting area between waterways (and also on the other side of the canal)?
I gather that Aradara Station, the Bastion of the Honorable, and a big central plaza are also in Eleven Bridges, is that where you would say the Fair mostly took place? Also, should the Consuls' Spire be here?
I would put the Bomat at another confluence of rivers
Freejam and Kujar seem vaguely like upscale places that might border Eleven Bridges, Embraal and Weldfast could probably be a little farther out along one of the rivers, and I guess Greenwheel can go wherever?
I guess the "greenbelts" like the Cowl should kind of be big parks that come between districts?
The Giants' Walk is described as both a migrating path (so I would assume it goes through the whole city) and an artist's colony, should I just take that as a colony in a stretch along the path, maybe in Weldfast?
The Dhund is under night markets, which supposedly change location, but also sort of connected to Gonti's hideout, so maybe all in the Bomat?
Thanks! If I get something worked up, I'll share it, although it will be fairly stylized to serve the purposes of the area-control metagame we are running for the League.
Isn't it also at or near the coast? The artbook mentions that the land that came to be Ghirapur was a coastal territory being warred over by many different principalities.
It's not entirely clear exactly where the main fair took place, other than in Artani Hall. Given that Liliana and Chandra's train breaks down and the conductor mentions waiting on instruction from Aradara Station, and they're near the fair at that point, it is likely nearby the Eleven Bridges.

It's on a river that leads to the coast, according to the artbook, not necessarily on the coast itself.
