Korvosa sits at the end of Conqueror's Bay, where the Jeggare River spills into the sea. The city fills the spit of land formed by two sharp turns in the River and Endrin Isle (which splits the river at its mouth), with a few outlying areas on the river's far shore.
Korvosa stands on two hills; Garrison Hill on Endrin Isle and Citadel Hill on the mainland.

The Narrows of Saint Alika seperate Endrin Isle from the shore.
Off the coast to the south of Citadel Crest rises Jeggare Isle, a small rock jutting from the sea that provides the foundation for a small fort.
Five landmarks give Korvosa a distinctive skyline.
Three of these exist on a truly colossal scale and have survived for millennia.

Castle Korvosa stands atop the Grand Mastaba, a massive pyramid that rises to a flattened top.
The Pillar Wall stretches across most of the southern end of Citadel Hill, a 100-foot-tall remainder of what once must have been a magnificent barrier.
Just beyond the western terminus of the Pillar Wall stands the Gatefoot, which obviously originally belonged to a part of the wall and likely served as part of a gateway of some kind.

The other two landmarks, while impressive, do not come close to the size or grandeur of the ruins.
Standing at the northernmost point of the Merciless Cliffs, the Great Tower reaches 270 feet in the air and serves several military roles for the city.
Directly south of it stands the equally impressive Hall of Summoning, the center of operations of the Acadamae.
