The only criticism I see with Cliportage is visual (I need to see a map).
The creation of a map would be a hum dinger.

Part of my problem is I have the Free City of Haven or Sanctuary in my mind.

My outline picture of a city:  Not as good as Rick's but this is an outline

A walled city-state on a major trading crossroads

Led by a marcher baron on the fringes of a dying empire

The barons power is based on trade, so there is a strong guild system

On some type of water source that leads to the ocean or on the ocean itself

Relatively close to mineral resources/mountains = dwarven community

On the edge of an immense wilderness = elves, orcs, centaurs, and other
creepy crawlies

A population of at least 2000 - 5000

City has a diverse population with many different areas/quarters.  Ex.
poor, trade, dock, rich, racial (goblin, halfling, elf, dwarf)

Near the site or built on the site of an ancient empire = dungeon adventure

Also when this is created only rules found in the rulebooks or the codex can
be used.

Yours in Cidri or whatever the town is called,
Justin
