Editing In the Shadow of Elsport (section)

==Neighbourhoods of Elsport==

* The Castle is the center of Kingdom business, both administrative and military.  The Regional Noble of Elsport has their official quarters here, along with several other high ranking officials.  The Outer Garden is open to the public, and the Ballroom is sufficiently lavish to satisfy most official celebrations.

* Many of the richest Guild families of Aldis keep a presence in Elsport, and most of them have estates within the walls where the scions of trade contemplate new avenues of profit.

* The Docks are always busy, and always well guarded as the city tries to limit crime.  Nothing seems to work, however.

* Sailor Town is the neighbourhood of inns, taverns, and businesses that cater to sailors and travellers.  The streets toward the docks are more affordable (and possibly more dangerous), while the ones closer to the Guild Houses are more opulent.

* The Market is a grand open plaza in the heart of the city.  All but the illegal and excessively expensive are overtly for sale here.

* The Temple is the center of religious life in the city, and it has a large library.  Due to the proximity of the Scatterstar Archipelago, Gaelenir features prominently in its iconography.  The Priests of Gaelenir are the tutors to the elite of Elsport.

* As one moves North through Elsport, the wealth of the citizenry declines.  The poorest of Elsport are pressed against the Northern Wall in cramped, poorly maintained buildings.  More than one epidemic has begun here and swept through the city.

* The small communities outside the walls are often at least as poor as Northern.  One area, often called "Nightville" is a community of Night People who work in Elsport and who live together for community.  While there are no laws separating them from others, enough of them have met prejudice over the years that they have decided living together in an enclave may be safer.
