This District is filled with large estates and grand manors, the streets are wide and paved with asphault, the smell of flowers is almost always on the breeze and trouble is always hidden.

Those who posses old blood (as old as 300 years at least) and regal favor (what little they do have) live in thier own world up in this district. Often these people play games of social value as they have little better to do.
The young men of this group are fequently installed into Wholstad's Leadcoat Military as soon as they can be enlisted at 16, typically as an officer due to family connections. Before they then leave the military after 4 years of service.
Wealthy Elites
Those who while the do not possess Noble Blood do possess noble money, also live in this district. These rich families are often indestinguishable to the former group unless one has a family tree or is either group.
Working Hands
Such lavish estates, fancy parties and lavish meals require many hands to make and keep up to co.

History
Originally this district was designed for Artists and Scholars, with condo's that had open balconies and many windows. Few of these residences were ever occupied and as such many were purchased by the wealthy as a "Holiday home". After the flooding of the Runoff District and the ensueing abandonment of the Wayestone District, many of the empty condo's were destroyed and large mannors were built atop the plateau in thier place. Over time, the original inhabitants of this district were pushed out or had thier homes purchased and as such left the district. Few of the original Condo's remain today.

Several small libraries are located around this district along with a collection of small art galleries. Sadly these are all that remains of the people who lived here before.
