Astra

The city that was named in honor of the home of the Gods. It was built when a few hundred people were "born" and found themselves here. That was either a few centuries ago or yesterday, all depending on who you ask.

The merchant road flows from the outermost ring of the city to the innermost ring. However to pass each gate requires a privilege that increasingly few have as you grow closer to the innermost sanctum of the city. However, those merchants proudly display their goods and wares no matter where they have been allowed to setup shop. The less competition that is experienced allows the merchants to take more space to display their mundane and exotic wares. The city, at the very center has the White Palace.

Five districts of Astra

The White Palace

The White Palace is the innermost part of the city and has the least access allowed to it. The ruler of the city is Anthwun Amalo and his wife Saeline Ilphelstacia. Their children Siliqui and Erdan are expected to take over rulership once Anthwun returns to Arvandor. Beneath them is the Council of Astra comprised of elven, dwarven, and human nobles who themselves or their ancestors were key in the city's construction. One must be part of a noble family to gain access. Servants in this district are always arcane or divine in their origin. It is not an uncommon occurrence to see deva that have been sent to help the city thrive acting as servants to mortal nobles to bring the city to greatness. In many ways, it helps to hide the darkness that is also in the hearts and minds of the nobles that rule the city.

The Solar District

Outside the White Palace is the Solar District and is open to the nobility and select teachers and artisans and students or apprentices, others require travel papers. The solar district is the home of the University of Divine and Arcane Studies. This prestigious university is one that most children of nobles are sent to be educated. However, due to the elite status of the district it usually also is a place that breeds arrogance. However, Headmaster Thalanil Rojyre, who attempts to keep level headed professors teaching students who feel entitled.

The solar district is the home to many fine smiths and a place where the noble and common mix with far more nobles than commoners.

The Planatar District

Beyond those gates lays the Planatar District. This district seems a mix of those nobles, but has far more commoners than nobles. However, the artisan and trade district is open to nobles and members of the military, others require travel papers.

The Deva District

The residences of free people of Archon that are not members of the Dwarves, Elves, or Human leadership.

The Plains District

Farming and livestock land. Primarily Human and Elven farmers overseeing halflings working the land.
