Well, I can’t deny finding Highstorm more comfortable to spend time in.

[The aesthetic appearance of Yima’s city doesn’t ring especially familiar for him, but he deeply appreciates the lack of sunlight pervading every nook and cranny. Not only that, but, borderline-sacreligious though it may seem for a priest of Abadar, he prefers that this city hasn’t been so intensely urbanized. The prevalence of parks and open spaces mingled with the buildings here makes Highstorm feel less claustrophobic.]

But the “Greco-Roman” aspects of Springstar, as you say, remind me of the older buildings in Oppara, from the high days of the empire. Some parts of the city are—were—thousands of years old.
