Corwald
Demographics
Houses and shops are distributed amongst three wards - the lower, middle and upper wards.
The lower ward are for may basic needs shops, houses, traveller and farmers; mostly working class or those who do not have the money to live further into the city.
The middle ward is for craftsmen and artisans who have honed their craft, and aim their work at those with money. This is where the theatre is, and middle-tier taverns such as the Hero's Lodge.
The upper wards is reserved for the Animus Hall, where trained magical professions research and gather information regarding a multitude of different topics (think university/library). There is also the royal castle on the upper ward, which is large and extensive. It is much older than the founding of the settlement.
