Districts
There are two districts on the surface, and four more that are subterranean.
Surface Districts
Holdgate District
As the name implies, this is the district immediately adjacent to the city's single gate. The district is mostly the site of various military compounds - barracks, the armory, training grounds, and so on. There are, however, a few homes and businesses that cater to the military.
The Foreign District
Between the Holdgate and the passage leading to the subterranean portion of the city, there is a broad area of business, farms, homes, inns, and markets, where foreigners are allowed to come to do business. This district exists specifically because non-Spou are not allowed to venture deeper into the settlement.
Subterranean Districts
The Miner's Quarter
This densely-packed part of the city is where the poorest of the Spou live - the twenty-five percent of them who are miners. It has an unsavory reputation as a rough-and-tumble part of town, and more refined dvaer tend to stay away.
The Artisan's District
This district is home to the gemcutters, goldsmiths, bronzesmiths, and so on. All of the trades for which the dvaer are rightly renowned (save mining, of course) are represented here. The artisans live here, often in homes adjoining their workshops.
The Temple District
Though there are common businesses and residences here, this district is the home to every temple and shrine in the city, and there is one to each of the Khuldaag.
The Mastery District
This district is home to the nobles and the Ving. Government offices and halls are located in this district, as well.
