Royal Heights

Climb away from The Riverfront and the downtown area of Emerald City and you ascend the first of the city’s three hills, overlooking the Albian and Red Rivers: Royal Hill. The skyscrapers of the downtown business district and the sprawling shops and pedestrian malls begin to give way to more humble structures and streets lined with retail shops, apartment and condo complexes, restaurants, and, most of all, cafés and coffee shops galore. Welcome to Royal Heights, the ritziest neighborhood in Emerald City.
Originally, Royal Heights was a sufficient distance from the somewhat disreputable docks, but close enough to the activity of the city, to be prime estates for the well-to-do of Emerald City. In the generations since, the downtown area has encroached more and more on Royal Heights, but it remains prime real estate in many regards. Most of the old manor homes are gone, leaving only those on Sunset Hill. Replacing them are more modern buildings constructed throughout the 20th century, including an increasing number of condos and apartments.
