Building a Neighbourhood
Let's say... ~20 districts?
Geography
City center at the confluence of the rivers
Commercial mostly along the east side of the river, industry on the west
Richer the more into the hills in the north east and by the lake
Poorer across the main river to the west
Sewage flows underground out into the lake, uses covered
Ones that have to exist:
Political/financial district
Palace
Miliatary HQ
Main Entertainment
Main Market
Ports
Upper class, middle class, lower class, slums
Cultural districts (eg, canviar land)
Facets of districts
Level of infra (sewage, fresh water, roads, buildings, defense)
Style (age, height of buildings, building materials and colour)
Historical changes (eg, gentrification, abandonment, etc)
Who's in charge (city, gang, family, the people, etc)
Level of crime, religion, markets, entertainment, industry, residential, parks, gardens, art
Demographics (density, races, ages, classes)
Destination or home
Any famous landmarks?
The List
Chemin du Lac
Quiet, close to gate, close to action
Older neighbourhood, limited infra, but road out of town is nice
Marcheau
cafes line the main thoroughfare
7 Kettles is where Diana hangs out
Apotex
Slums, where Skrit is from, Gang of Lops used to have a large precense here
Has been neighbourhood, poor, broken down
Used to be a "medical" neighbourhood, before the actual medical science came in. Broke apart once the skilled doctors moved to a new place
Gentrified now with Pisongada society
Palace
Own access to river
Guards garissoned within, very well defended
Walls around with strong weaponary on it
Very oranate, show off the wealth
Large gardens
Underground area connects to... places
Veutre
Gaudy - these are people that are trying to impress the palace since they are close but not quite part of them
Fashion fad of fake dog hair mustaches and beards, now real and fake weapons worn as fashion
Tons of FOMO
Lots of guards
Farming / Working class
Poorer area where farmers live that leave the walls
Inn that does't ask questions, but doesn't provide
Entertainment
Multi-purpose ampi-theatre for stick racing and classical music, no clothes, or limited but its frowned upon
Abreusalle is the "watering hall"
Lots of betting, even on the music performances, eg, who fucks up, battles of the band
By the water
Speakeasy with a magic bookcase entrance where Diana meets their contact
Middle Market
Hideout for the crew
3 story building, base is a story for hats and others accessories for the working class on the up and up
Story owned by a vegan kecantica
Cobbler next door
Mage's Guild
By the main gate, but a bit off the road
Was a poor, but not squalid, neighbourhood
New money came in and gentrified it
All the main magical stores and services. Marcheau has "Lil Brillhant" but this is the main place.
Surrounded by wards, makes it harder to attack people
Everyone has sanctuary passively applied to them
Break the bonds, you now can be hit back
Own custom guard
