Second City

Second City is (indeed) Entropaea's second-oldest urban establishment and the primary seat of Family Gray and Family Wilmington. It is best known for the Dark and Light Magical Councils that at one point include Nora, Winston, Winston's elder brother, Stella, Sandoval, and Adrian, as well as the post time warp United Magical Council.

"'There is no fracking in second city.'"

Trivia

 * When Winston is posthumously awarded a High Archmage title, he is commemorated with a statue in Second City's town square. After the natural deaths of Stella, Shawna, Wendell, and Winston's elder brother, they are likewise featured in a nearby dedication to the United Magical Council.
 * The Second City Light Council is primarily funded by Family Gray. Meanwhile, in addition to that of Demari Primus, the Sherwins donate a great deal to Second City's Dark Council. The uncanny number of Sherwins on either council is said to be unrelated, as the twins and Adrian are objectively excellent magical practitioners (though obviously grew up rich enough to train as such..).
 * Second City's ice hockey team is the Second City Shazmatazz. Winston and Sandoval are both huge fans, as is Varo Vectorvale in Second City's future. The Shaz fandom is known for its love of outrageous, neon colors, sequins, and even cheap potions sold at games to turn fans' bodies bright colors. This alone is (almost) enough to convert Nora from her loyalty to the Neihgaughkraighe Narwhals.
 * Some of Second City's well-known establishments have included:
 * The Entropaean Town Hall and Continuing Education Center, where Winston and Bastion spend a great deal of time teaching non-magical subjects. Lucian is also based here as an architectural draftsman for the city government, which arguably keeps him out of trouble.
 * The Dark and the Fabulous, a custom tailoring and alterations shop co-owned by Flora Faustian and Adrian.
 * The Frosting Mage, a cakery run by Sandoval and Stella.
 * The Priestess of Pie, a friendly rival bakery run by Alice Stowe.
 * Wilmington's Artifacts and Objects of All Sorts, one of many regional distribution and repair shops owned by the Wilmington Family.
 * The Second City Skyport, where Nora works as a combined magical and non-magical air traffic controller.
 * Yon Kompressor Kastle, a popular restaurant and potion house.
 * The Entropaean Center for All Creatures, a combined magical and non-magical veterinary office opened by Stella's ex-partner, Dr. Helen Stone.
 * The Second City School of Magic, where Nora, Wendell, and many other Grays and Wilmingtons were trained. Sandoval likewise took on his light studies here after a break in the non-magical world.
 * Various historical buildings and residences belonging to Family Gray and, to a lesser extent, Family Wilmington.
