The 1st District
The oldest district in the city, the 1st District stands as a monument to the hardiness of the city as a whole. A chaotic sprawl, it probably has the most diversity of any single district, with towers, hovels, markets, forges, and everything else a normal city has. Born from necessity instead of planning, almost anything you need can be found in the streets of the district, especially entertainment, although not always the kind a sane person searches for.
Government
The 1st district is remotely run by The 4th Embry and has no official government of their own. However, old and influential families are still prevalent there, who often hold sway past the government. Additionally, The Cult of Ikon is based in the first district, and while they don't organize anything, it is unwise to get on their bad side.
Industry & Trade
The 1st District is the closest thing to a complete city within Doreymos, as before there were districts, there was New Tyrh. The outskirts have lumber, mining, and farms aplenty, while the inner streets have craftsmen galore. However, it's fairly mundane in its crafts, and very few magic items are traded within the 1st District.
Infrastructure
As the 1st District started once as a small village, it has a series of cobblestone roads that cover the majority of the district. Some of them are better paved than others, but the narrow streets are indicative of an old town. Additionally, industry is scattered across the district, with watermills and foundries located along the river running through the middle of the district.
Architecture
The 1st District is an old district, and has a much more thrown-together look to it. Houses are made of stone and lumber, and were designed by necessity, not aesthetic value. Centuries of repairs and rebuilds have led some parts of the district to approaching modernity, with others looking like a portal through time to the founding of New Tyrh. Some of the oldest houses along the river even bear a resemblance to the longhouses of old, mixed with the conveniences of modern living.
