Norden
"Let's never go here. I don't fancy running into my birth parents again after robbing them blind... they deserved it though!"One of the four cardinal bastions of the Order of the Earth and Mae Greenbrook's birthplace. The Missing Horses visited the city with Mae disguised as a blonde female gnome as they sought the keystone from the Order of the Earth for Tarset.
-Mae Greenbrook (before they went there)
A large bustling city with a large fortress and large public garden called Woolgreen, next to the fortress campus.
The city is made up of several districts:
Ashborough
A mixed class but pretty rough district sprawling outside the city walls in the northwest. Ramshackle houses meet relatively well build houses particularly closer to the northwest gate. Evidence of blackened timbers and burnt down houses that other houses are now built up into. Ashborough had been a slum area in which a wildfire had raged through about a decade or so ago, lending the area its name. The district has grown up around and over the ruins but the scars are still visible. The district meets the city walls and a large menacing 20ft stone gate guarded by empire soldiers separates it from the next district within the city walls.
Old Town
An increasingly gentrified and orderly district the further north and closer to the Order of the Earth fortress you go. Close to the northwest gate, the buildings are large, looming and tightly packed leading to a large city square bazaar. The northern reaches of the city district marks the noble and high class part of the district. Lord Elric Goras and Lady Rosin Goras's gated mansion lies in this part of town.
Seven Gardens
Southern crescent shaped district of the city within the city walls. Named after the seven temples that had gated gardens which the city built up and around.
Westway
Southwestern district of the city that lies both within and outside the city walls. Mae Greenbrook diverted guard attention away from Olofir after his reconnaissance mission went awry by telling the guards she had seen a firbolg in this part of the city.
South Road
Southeastern district outside of the city walls that the Missing Horses (except Mae) retreated to and stayed at Wiggan's Brewery after things got too hot at The Blind Giant following Olofir's botched recon mission.
Feychurch
Small farming district(?) outside the city walls in the east.
Defences
Has a strong Imperial guard presence, manning the gates into the city and running regular patrols throughout the city. The imperial militia presence is strongest in and around the Order of the Earth fortress in the eastern part of the city.
