The Districts: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 21:54, 4 April 2024

The city at the surface level is in the shape of a circle, and the majority is defined by six wedge-shaped districts. Each district is associated with one of the six arcane Houses, and the districts are named as such.

At the heart of each House district lies the respective House's citadel, as well as the greatest concentration of relevant shops and attractions. Each of these districts begins at the outer perimeter of the city, and they converge towards the city's center, forming the Council District which surrounds the Council Spire. The outermost ring of the city, including the gates, is referred to as unaffiliated.

Hovering above the city are a series of floating isles that contain Nodd's two upper tiers. The lower of the two is a ring of floating islands known as the Canopy, with the Crown resting just above that. The higher one goes the more exclusive the access, with celebrities almost exclusively occupying the Crown.

In the other direction, beneath Nodd's street level, is the Underbelly. The Underbelly is comprised of four subterranean tiers. While this portion of the city is often thought of as dirtier and more dangerous than the surface, this isn't necessarily true.

-Each of the roughly wedge shaped districts begins at the outer rung of the city where they touch two adjacent gates on either side and converge inwards. All the districts come together at the city's center around the Council Spire. At the heart of each district lies the respective House's citadel, as well as the greatest concentration of mages, thematic shops, shows, and so forth.

-Hovering above the city are a series of floating isles that serve as the upper tiers of Nodd. First are the isles of [[the Canopy]] with [[the Crown]] even higher still, essentially the apex of Nodd's verticality. The higher one goes the more exclusive the access and the more influential, powerful, rich, or otherwise remarkable the denizens become.

-The area between the districts is not a rigid, straight line that designates House territory but instead a vague, meandering boundary of no real definition. The area between districts, and the areas around the Spire and gates, are often considered to be [[Unaffiliated_District|unaffiliated]].
