High Town District
The High Town district, often referred to simply as "High Town," is an enclave of wealth, prestige, and titled nobility. Situated in the northern part of the city within the protective walls, this district exudes an air of elegance and sophistication. It is the primary residential district for the rich and titled individuals who are not part of the royal family or the Dukes.
Geography
The High Town's strategic location within the city provides easy access to various key areas. To the north, a gate connects directly to the Castle District, allowing for a seamless transition between noble neighborhoods. To the west, two city gates offer passage outside the city—one leading to a bridge over the river and another to a road parallel to the river, both providing access to trade routes. To the south, a fortified wall separates the High Town from the bustling Majors, with a single gate guarded by the City Guard regulating passage between them. To the east, the outer city wall provides a natural barrier separating the High Town from the bustling Harbor.
Ecosystem
While the noble houses within the High Town lack extensive garden space due to the tight layout of the district, they more than compensate with their grandeur and expert architecture. These multi-floored mansions, often adorned with imposing facades, intricate stonework, and soaring towers, represent the pinnacle of architectural opulence. Each residence tells the story of its wealthy inhabitants, and their elegance is second to none.
At the heart of the High Town, the magnificent Judgement Cathedral stands tall and imposing. It serves dual purposes as a place of worship dedicated to Juulantus, the god of Justice, and as a courthouse. Within its hallowed halls, a holy order known as the "Justiciars" administers justice and judges crimes. The cathedral's presence instills a sense of righteousness and accountability in the district.
The High Town offers a curated selection of shops and services that cater exclusively to its elite clientele. Fine jewelers craft exquisite pieces of jewelry, while tailors create bespoke garments of the highest quality. Barbers provide grooming services fit for nobility, ensuring impeccable appearances. In addition, a prestigious private school nurtures the minds of the district's youth, and a public library offers a sanctuary for knowledge seekers.
