Districts:

1. Clearheath

   • Positioned on the outskirts of the City, this is the newest district. It is made of primarily upper-class citizens who want the beachfront property, and/or quick access to the beaches. This is a popular tourist attraction, and has lots of kitschy shops and restaurants. 

2. Haunted Hall

   • The oldest district. This is where the town was originally, before the war came and the walls were built around crucial structures. This district saw the most combat, and has the most history. It is well-known that a majority of the buildings and streets here are haunted. Most spirits will pass you by without a second glance. But locals will let you know that it is damn near suicide to be out on the full or new moon.  

3. Long Gate

   • This district used to contain the Castle, and the grounds have been converted to a market place. The name of “Long Gate” comes from the large double doored gates that open to the market grounds. It consists of mostly industrial docks, warehouses, and assembly plants. 

4. Pearl Gate

   • This district, next to the current Castle, is home to the Uber-wealthy and well-connected. Aptly named, the Pearl Gate is home to many jewelers and high-end shops. 

5. The Docks

   • Not much to say here. These are the primary docks for the city. Travel, trade, and military come and go all hours of the day. 

6. Milkwalk

   • A large, lower income district. The majority of citizens live in this tight, packed district. It is named “Milkwalk” due to an incident with a rogue alchemist jug that flooded the streets with several inches of milk. On hot days, the smell of rotting milk can still faintly be detected. 

7. Old Town

   • Despite its name, this district is not as old as the haunted hall. It is just one of the older, more well-known districts. This is home to the more “hip” population and shops

Points of Interest:

1. The Fairy Arch—A 5-inch arched opening in a tree near the center of town said to once contain a passageway to a realm of pure beauty and magic. Opening the door has been forbidden by the local warden, who fears its power and is afraid of fairies in general.

2. The Art Gallery—Home to a number of exquisite, immensely detailed black and white drawings of books, women, and sea creatures. The owner has a number of clients who tend to be evil or chaotic in disposition.
