The Golden Dome of Pyrez is a three-layered city, including a separate section under the main levels. The highest level is what gives the city its namesake and is topped by a golden dome that is controlled by the Sultan and his advisors. The highest nobles live in this layer. The second level is the religious heart of the city, where the majority of temples can be found. The Salamanders rule this level with impunity. The base level is where the majority of the city is, including the main citizenry, visitors, and the bazaar. It can be quite hectic and busy throughout the entire city. Under the city is the Azer layer of the city, also known as the prison level. Recently it has started its transformation but in past times it was used to house the slave race of Azers.
