Districts
Old Town
This is the oldest district of Meru with a maze of narrow streets and tightly packed houses built in a traditional style. It showcases the city's architectural evolution, with buildings from various eras standing side-by-side. One can find bustling markets, artisan workshops, and traditional eateries here. It's a great place to experience Meru's rich cultural heritage.Castle Meru
This imposing fortress has served as the seat of government for centuries. It is guarded by elite soldiers and the castle inspires both awe and respect. Still, whispers abound of secret passages, forgotten chambers, and priceless artifacts within the castle walls.Moonhill Gate
This is the main eastern entrance to Meru, and its named for the breathtaking view of the moonrise over the surrounding hills. It's a bustling marketplace with merchants from various lands offering their wares.Darkgate
The western gate of Meru is heavily fortified, a stark contrast to the Moonhill Gate. It is guarded by the city's most vigilant soldiers, and the Darkgate is used primarily for military purposes. Legends surround the Darkgate, some whispering of a forgotten war or a sealed evil kept at bay.Bone Forge
This district is dedicated to metalworking and crafting weapons. The rhythmic clanging of hammers and bellows fills the air. It is home to the city's most skilled blacksmiths, who forge weapons and armor renowned for their quality. The district is known for its smoke-filled workshops and hardworking residents.New Sprawl
This is a rapidly growing district outside the old city walls, and characterized by modern architecture and planned streets. It is home to universities, research labs, and businesses focused on technological advancements. The New Sprawl district represents Meru's forward-thinking approach and its commitment to progress.Apple Road
Apple road is a wide avenue lined with fruit trees, particularly apple trees, offering shade and a delightful aroma. It is a popular spot for strolling, socializing, and enjoying street performers.Southern Meru
The fertile plains south of the city walls are dedicated to agriculture, providing Meru with its food supply. There's a quieter and more relaxed atmosphere compared to the bustling city center. A trong sense of community has bonded the farmers who work together to ensure successful harvests.

I don't know if I've ever seen a street peformer. Then again I'm not always aware of what's going on around me, even when I'm not buried in a library or in a book. I'd love to see what Meru has to offer and explore Castle Meru for the history I can't find anywhere else.
