The Emerald District
The mansions of various lords and nobles in the capital are found in the Emerald District, so it is the wealthiest part of the city. Besides being stacked with estates, huge houses and villas, many of the Temples to Gods are located in this rich district, the largest of which is the Dawn Temple dedicated to The Father.
This district is home to the Emerald Gate, which is only for the rich and well known. The guards will simply turn anyone away they deem unworthy of entrance.
