Central

The oldest, largest, and most developed district of Flint is home to its main government structures, including the city council, superior court, police headquarters, and the offices of various civil functionaries like tax collectors. Grand party halls, ornate druidic garden temples, and parks filled with monuments to old wars provide recreation and entertainment for the city’s nobility and prospering middle class, while the Orange Street Commodities market and the prestigious Pardwight University are the dual hearts of Flint’s economic and academic cultures.
The district is distinctly divided into three sections (four if you count the Governor's Mansion being its own separate section) each divided off by a set of old walls. The first section is the outermost section and, like the rest of the city, is not protected by a wall ring. This is often referred to as 'Midtown' and is mostly a lower to middle class residential area with many storefronts, restaurants, and parks. Midtown can be furthered broken down into numerous residential neighborhoods.
The next inner section is one of the largest market/commercial areas of the city referred to as 'Downtown'. Downtown contains mostly markets, stalls, places of business, mercantile houses, commodity markets, trading companies, restaurants, inns, and entertainment venues.
The third district, the oldest section of the entire city contains nearly most of the Government buildings in the city as well as numerous libraries, theaters, laboratories, tinkerer halls, and the Navras Opera House. It also is the location of the Royal Dockyards, where the RNS Coaltongue was constructed. This section of Central is sometimes call 'Oldtown'.
The district mayor Oncala Putnam recently approved construction of a grand subrail station to serve as the hub of a city-wide transportation network. Currently the Central district is often clogged with traffic from the surface rail station, since the proposed tunnel through Humble Hill in the Nettles, meant to provide an easier route to the factories of Parity Lake, has been dogged by sabotage from elements opposed to the industrialization of Risur.
A major freight and passenger railroad line enters from the south at Midtown and stops at King’s Station in Downtown, but local light rail routes are being constructed throughout Central District. Most of this route travels underground, thus earning the moniker subrail. One section parallel to the freight line travels aboveground in the same corridor, and a brief stretch of track near Pardwight University rises to the surface by necessity, due to some magical quirks of geography.
Just off the coast in Flint Bay, the city governor’s mansion occupies what was once an island fortress. For the past four hundred years the aasimar Roland Stanfield has, through various incarnations and with only rare disruption, served as city governor, earning near universal respect for his wisdom and leadership.
Central district is also home to the local headquarters of the Royal Homeland Constabulary, headed by Lady Inspectress Margaret Saxby.
