Dianmallo
Dianmallo is a large enough city that leans heavily into its religious influence, with many religious factions putting their base here, particularly the major factions. They both have a great deal of influence within the city, and some sections are kept from arcane magic usage.
History
Oldest city in the world, once the capital of the Quallian empire of old in the Age of Dichotomy, Dianmallo is a bulwark in the 4th Age that now remains as a sole city-state that is self-sustaining and maintains steady relationships with other nations through trade and tactful diplomacy.District Map and Overview
O-1 Cerrick's Farm
Located on the Southeastern side of Dianmallo, Cerrick's farm is the largest producing farm in the city. Orthomancers claim that the farm uses magic as a means to produce so much, but these claims are unsubstantiated at the time. Many products are labeled, "Cerrick's Farm" in the city proper, and are sold at decent prices.1 - Arcane District
The Arcane District is overseen by Lord Dorn Fennclam. Because of his disdain for the poor, as a noble, and his elevated status as a wizard, there is ward around the Northern section of the Arcane District that prohibits people from entering the area. The only way to access the Arcane District from the North side is through the roads, or by having an artifact that gives one permission to pass through. The west entrance is guarded by the Shanballot Univeristy security, the central is watched over by Emât's Watch, and the Eastern side is watched over by the Beams .2 - Mosaic District
The Mosaic District, called thus due to its large influx of people from other continents who choose to settle down in this region, is the port district of Dianmallo. It is run by the "former pirate" half-orc Fjord Hammelstark, a wealthy guild member who has a tight grip on the trade here in the Mosaics. You can find many wonderous treasures here from exotic lands. Most of the imports and exports of Dianmallo go through the Mosaic District. The district guards here are called Wage Wharfers, a derrogatory name of the official name, the Wharf Wardens.3 - The King's Sliver
This district is given to the King upon his coronation and is left to his control. As such, it typically holds military presence (the local guard here is called the Slivered , due to their connection with the king and in the area itself), a handful of refugee groups, and now it has an odd community of halfing-like creatures called "Kender".4 - Glory's Hope District
The Glory's Hope District, so named due the common desire to make a name for oneself in this region, is run and led by a Githyanki Guild Leader named Xandar Naïlar. Its greatest attraction is the Colosseum, called the Temple of Tulkas. Run by the Glaive of Tryp, this colosseum attracts thousands of visitors every midweek and endweek.5 - Columns of Maia
The Columns of Maia District of Dianmallo is run by the high noble Niso Gurgax, cousin of High Vertian Felix Gurgax, who is the head of The High Hand. This is the district primarily devoted to the divine and religious structure of the city.6 - Cenn's Garlorpis
This district is historically given to the nearest nephew of the King. It changes leadership every time a new King is crowned, and each nephew is given the authority to make whatever changes he desires. This is why it is called the Garlorpis. It is a conglomeration of different Nephews' changes. Some people love to live here because of the random and chaotic nature of this district. Many people criticize this place for being a den for criminal activities.7 - District of Woes
Run by Celia Fenthris, a widowed Lady who is permitted to run her district despite her husband's tragic death. In an attempt to bring her husband back, she turned a large majority of this whole area into an undead populace. It is now cursed land, and this is also part of the reason she is allowed to continue ruling this area.8 - Markets of Marvels
Serrin Bularn, a dragonborn guild leader, runs this district that has the largest market in Dianmallo, seconded by the Mosaic Market. This area is famous for selling all sorts of trinkets obtained through import/export. You can find just about anything in this place.9 - The Misleans
The Misleans are the slums of this city, run by the high lord Max Le'Moar. There is a quarry here that is very successful, in part due to the high need for workers and the several available workers who live nearby who will work for cheap.10 - The Grove District
The Grove District is protected by the King of Dianmallo, and run by the Druid clans who inhabit this place. It is said that a World Tree grows here amidst the dense foliage.11 - Citadel of Dianmallo
In the center lies the capital of Dianmallo where the King dwells and rules from. The greatest concentration of Kingsguards are here, and no one may enter this island without permission from a member of the council or other similar high ranking official.12 - Conflux of Veritamos
This is the main temple area that is not supposed to be controlled by any High Council member. It is the primary religious setting of the entire city, spanning whole blocks. The Temple itself is run by a staff larger than a small town.13 - Naval Operations
This is the final district of the city that houses the Dianmallo Navy and performs customs checks under the authority of the King.Defences
There is a moat that surrounds the city that can be filled in situations of invasion.
