Azzaron

Due to the scale of Azzaron, with it being a campaign setting the equivalent to the forgotten realms, its impossible to focus on the fine details of the worlds. I could choose to zoom into the magic system I want to create, but a more precise example may be more useful. For this I'll use the capital of @Lykoto, Olron, The Free City.   Class relations The classes of Olron are divided into 6 distinct groups: the royals, nobility high class, middle class, lower/working class and the peasantry. There is little to no contact between the royal and noble classes and the lower/working class, while there is absolutely no contact with the peasantry. The middle class usually act as a sort of buffer zone between the two extremes, socially and geographically. They have frequent contact with the lower class, but again avoid the peasantry. as the lower class host some of the finest, but often overlooked craftsmen, they actually have access, albeit limited to the upper classes of Olron. Although they would never admit it, there is one such craftsman whom creates the saddles and riding equipment for the royal stables.

Government presence The government of Olron is a monarchy first, with a series of councillors assigned to different sectors of the city. The monarch doesn't actively wander their districts, but they still retain final say over how Olron is governed. The council of nobles, on the other hand, are actively seen amongst the citizens while they preside over the day-to-day running of infrastructure, society, economy and military areas among other things. The main presence is seen through the administrative and judiciary districts, which contain some of the most vital government buildings.

Magic influence The magi of Olron is usually within certain guilds of districts. These places are typically highly advanced with a combination of magic and technology in addition to increased prosperity. Visitors looking to trade in magical items and trinkets are directed to these areas, which specialise in them. Although arcane items can be found throughout Olron's many districts, including the extravagant fountain plazas, gardens with their floating lights of electrical energy and the mysterious obsidian obelisks that stand across the city. The origin of these monuments is a secret held at the heart of the mage guild. All that is known about these monuments is that they are a 'preparation' by the magi, for what though it is uncertain. Spellcasters who trade their talents for wealth can also be found scattered across Olron, from simple herbalists to the more alchemical. It is not uncommon to find healers peddling their low level spells for some easy earnings.

Religious influence Religion does not play a major role within Olron as it merely exists as a sort of right to equality amongst its population. The main religious influence is the institution known as the House of Equality. This is a polytheistic religion representing a pantheon of the gods of Iaxovar, which some would recognise as the main religion of the realm. Despite thise there are still many other gods and religions worshipped, from underground demon sects to small communities dedicated to lesser known deities, found tucked away in blocks within the districts.   Religious temples and shrines can be found across both upper and lower Olron, with two main districts, the upper temple district containing the Citadel of Equilibrium. The clergy of this sanctum offer their hospitality openly, while itself is not under the influence or command of any form of government officials. Those who worship Amera, Athos, Celir, Esith, Ignall, Ithar, Neknea, Oxdorh, Vaion and Wrakellek, to name a few, are commonly found worshipping in these districts, with the middle class and higher attending the citadel. These worshippers are common in the city, as well as some followers of rarer and lesser known deities. Although, those types of worshippers tend to be concentrated within the ethnic neighbourhoods in outer Olron.   Wealth distribution As with many advanced settlements, the distribution of wealth is hugely uneven between classes, with the peasantry naturally having the least amount of money and the royal courts possessing the largest amount for a single family. Starting from the top tier, despite the royalty being the pinnacle of society, they do not own the majority of the overall wealth. The nobility hold less wealth than the crown individually, but together, their combined wealth is more than the monarch themselves.   The high and middle classes control the bulk of the remaining currency, although it is significantly less than the nobility. the merchants and guild leaders are amongst the wealthiest of the middle class, given their frequent forays into both national and international trade. The lower and working classes are what would be classed as poor/just above poor, with very few of them being wealthier than most, typically there being a few of them contracted by the royal court and nobility or organised criminal leaders, such as smugglers and the thieves guild. These "entrepreneurs" are particularly common amongst the poorest of all the peasantry, where they recruit most of their members.
