The way I see it the abandoned city bears architectural resemblance to the ancient tower. For instance: the ancient tower is never explained, we don't know who built or for what purpose. Plus I think a city area would be fine. For those of you who have fought G-rank silver Rathalos or gold Rathian, have you ever looked into the distance, there is a vast network of strange archways and pillars.

I just mentioned that to point out that some ancient civilisation was obviously perfectly capable of building a vast city network.

Plus I wouldn't put this as a starting area, too depressing.
