2nd Tier: Glang; the second tier holds all the citizen housing, as well as the taverns, specialty shops, and common goods stores.
3rd Tier: Namath; The tier where all the noble houses and the keep of the jarl resides. There is a large presence of Mythril Defenders on this tier, as it is also the richest tier of the city. This tier also holds the barracks for the Mythril Defenders.
4th Tier: Klarth; The tier that holds most of the trades workers [blacksmiths, tanners, weapon/armoursmiths, carpenters, leatherworkers, and tinkerers].
5th Tier: Zana; the base of the city that holds all the quarries, miners guilds, and resource manufacturers.
