Middle City
The financial and mercantile center of Bral, the Middle City is home to thousands of Bralians who can afford to live outside the Low City but don’t have the privilege or means to dwell behind the walls of the High City.
Encompassing crowded market streets and quiet neighborhoods of well-kept townhouses, the Middle City is an area whose borders are defined differently by each Bralian. Most people agree that the old wall separating the High City is a good trailing edge boundary for the Middle City, but on the leading edge, no one can say where exactly the Low City stops and the Middle City begins.
The financial and mercantile center of Bral, the Middle City is also home to thousands of Bralians who can afford to move away from the Low City but do not belong in the elite High City. It is more quiet and orderly than the Low City; street brawls are relatively rare here, the taverns are more expensive but somewhat safer, and the shopkeepers and craftsmen are more honest. Despite this, the Middle City is still Bral; anything can happen.
Adventurers wandering through the Middle City will find their progress unimpeded. The streets are crowded but are not choked with masses of people as they are in the Low City. Street peddlers and con men are not found in great numbers here, and the Magistrate's Watch is rarely seen. There are some regions of the city where adventurers are unwelcome, however. The residential blocks trailing the Festival Grounds do not care for bands of ruffians menacing their streets, and often will summon the Magistrate's Watch to remove intruders.
