-Arcanum is a section of the city based on magical discovery. It both researches, and sells its discoveries for a fair price. As well as exports exclusively to Imperium territories.
-The Sustenance is dedicated to the cities food distribution for the slaves. It also deals in lower-tier restaurants for those willing to pay in Merits.
-The Pits houses the majority bulk of the Slaves caste. As well as where the sale and trade of Slaves takes place.
Victorum is the district dedicated housing for the Ebon Corps Military, Religious practices to Kord, and where all candidates for the Ebon Corps are trained.
Primus the center-most ring is where Honored Ones are trained to serve Cairn, and also where the Imperiums' warmachines are developed and manufactured. Lastly it is home to Blackstone; the citadel of the leader of the Imperium which sits near the peak of Mount Dragonforge.
The walls that separate each district have a number of very tall towers built into the walls that serve as docks for the airships of the Imperium.

Geography
Cadguard sits surrounding the mountain known as the Dragonforge. The entirety of the city interior is man-made except for a few spots where there are local "parks" which are mainly unique natural obsidian formations. The top of the Dragonforge is the only land untouched by man, other than Blackstone Citadel near it's peak. The lands surrounding the city are mostly rolling barren hill lands.
Natural Resources
The lands just outside the city are mostly farmlands and warehouses which produces a meager amount of food. Inside the city Obsidian, and Dragons' Breath can be harvested, but rarely are and Cadguard is mainly a manufacturing hub that imports from its' surrounding settlements.
