Central City

Central city was founded in the early years of the Golden Age, a haven for all the peopleas of the world, and a home to all those who had no other fixed home.

Geography


Central City is located besides the World Spring, on the central island. It is built into the sides of the mountains there, occupying three seperate tiers, with the foundations of each tier riddled with tuinnels.

Being next to the World Spring, the city is often shrouded in mist. When the wind pushes the mists away, the climate is typically warm to temperate, sunny in the summer and only snowing in the depths of winter.

Layout
The city is overlooked by the Palace, home of the current monarch. This lies on the cliff averlooking the World Spring, and is surrounded on two sides by the homes of the wealthy. On the Northern side is the city's park.

On the far side of the park is the wizard's tower, home to the Archmage. Out into the sea, beyond the park, is a small rocky island, home to the Alchemist of the city. On the other side of the palace, beyond the noble's houses, are the markets, and steps run down the cliff face to the harbours. A number of shops line the streets between this tier and the second.

On the tier above, East of the palace, are the homes of the middle class. the barracks of the city guard lie to the very South of this tier, and it is otherwised occupied by the homes of the 'poor' - still rich enough to live comfortably - and a number of gambling and pleasure houses.

The third tier is occupied predominantly by The Traveller's Rest, a grand inn, often home to sailors. Lining the wall of the mountain is a small open shack, which was once the shop of the smith Ironwrit.
