Hollywell Ward

Gwyfned City Wards

Named after Gwyfned’s original imperial palace, Hollywell House, this neighborhood is part of the city’s original outer ward in what is now Upper City. The ward was once independently walled in, and, while much its walls are still part of the outer exterior curtain walls, the interior walls have either been torn down to make way for streets, or still exist but are incorporated into the buildings adjacent to them.

Hollywell ward is contiguous with the Pemmby Green and Halcionne wards, and below the Whitefeather Ward to the northwest. All the government institutions that permanently have been settled are in this here. Some royals (especially the crown prince and his household), wealthy nobles, and those that service them live here, as well as some of the empire’s fabulously wealthy citizens.
