North Gate - This district features the main entry into the city. It has the heaviest presence of the City Watch and they are notorious for hassling new arrivals to Palisade. The district is upper-middle class and features attractive homes, parks, and the Night Market, the city's most bustling market. Each night stalls open and the place becomes a veritable party, with merchants giving out free samples of food, beverages, or knick-nacks. A lot of coin changes hands here. The district is run by Captain Stavros, leader of the City Watch.<br/><br/>2. Palm District - So named because of it's countless beggars. Lower middle class housing here, and business consist mostly of taverns and general stores. The Far Market is decent and open all hours, but nothing compared to the Night Market. Homeless tend to congregate here because the people that live here actually have money, but they won't be hassled as much by the City Watch. The district is run by Chairman Hroth, a charming politician full of more excuses than solutions. He is largely ignored.<br/><br/>3. Merchant District - The south gate into Palisade is located here and it's through this entry that the majority of goods come into the city. Everything makes it's way through the Merchant District on it's way to be distributed through the city. There is more guard presence here than in the Palm, but not nearly as much as in North. Shops are all over this district, but mostly concentrated in the infamous South Market, a place where you can buy virtually any good or service, including illegal goods. You just have to know where to look. Central to the district is Colaboris Station, an airship dock so named after the God of wind, Colaboris. Stavros Shipwright Services (3S) provides fast, affordable travel all around Palisade. The district is run by Celia Stavros, wealthy industrialist. She keeps everything running like clockwork and has her own private militia to help keep order.<br/><br/>4. Cypress District - Where the upper class plays. The North Market here is divided half between Cypress and the North District, with it on either side of the gateway. It is something akin to a smaller, more expensive version of the Night Market. Cypress is famed for it's numerous parks and wooded areas where the wealthy can enjoy a lovely day out. The Hired Blade, the company that runs and organizes all mercenary activity in Palisade, is here. The district is run by Guis Del Ras, a former mercenary who outgrew his humble roots when he helped the City Watch hold the North Gate against a horde of Orcs. He is old, wizened, and well respected.<br/><br/>5. Water District - The poor section of Palisade. Home to places like Rat's Run, Beggar's Alley, and Cutpurse Lane. All old roads, their original names long forgotten, new ones given by the terrible things that happen on the road at night. Things are slightly less impovrished, moving from poverty to low class at the docks where there are ample opportunities for jobs. The Four Roses is located here, just down the road from the central plaza. The district is run by Lord Cotswel, an ex-General who still fancies himself with the army. Obviously upset at being handed control of one of the less glamorous districts, Cotswel takes any opportunity to take his frustrations out on the populace. He is served by soldiers still loyal to him and maintains his own garrison.<br/><br/>6. Holy District - Home to Palisade's Grand Cathedral, Sanctuary, and Infirmary, places of respite and healing. An upper class district mostly inhabited by the clergy and the city's more religious nobility, the Holy District is kept in exquisite shape and many come just to see the Gardens of Eros, sprawling spaces of greenery dedicated to the Goddess of Love and Compassion. The district is run by High Priestess Constance Averis, a well-known healer and kind soul to the needy. City Watch presence here is second only to the Burnished Gardens. The Grand Cathedral is the city's premier house of worship, while the Sanctuary is where the City Council meets on a daily basis.<br/><br/>7. The Burnished Gardens aka The Noble District - Where the richest of the rich of Palisade reside. The district is covered in manors, gardens, parks, and the most expensive of shops and eateries. Some nobles who live here love it so much they may be born, live, and die here without ever seeing the rest of the city. The City Watch is headquartered here, though few of the guards will ever actually see the headquarters and are instead recruited at the branch offices located throughout the city. The district is run by the City Council together, though they mostly just make decisions on who's manor will host the next dinner party and how much to raise taxes.
