	'''The Shadows'''- If you increased the number of guards ~~in the Shadows~~ by about 1000% percent, sent in cleaners to work for a ~~weak~~, had everyone put on their best clothing, and somehow managed to get everyone to act a good deal nicer then the Shadows would just barely qualify as a crime ridden hell hole. The Shadows are ruled by gangs of toughs that can openly murder whoever they like and evil is a way of life for survival. The Shadows are abandoned by the rest of Alfein and no one is even trying to save the people who live here.

			'''Foreign Quarter'''- A place filled to the rim with hundreds of other miniature districts representing all the other Great Kingdoms and many Petty Kingdoms that people have never heard of. The people of the outside world tend to care little for the Foreign Quarter's inhabitants and the feeling is mutual.

	'''The Merchant's Quarter'''- A ~~great bazaar~~ filled with huge walled Merchant Estates that are really miniature compounds with their own private armies. It is also a place where countless businesses are run from and only a little actual shopping is done. The Merchants Quarter also has '''The Grand Arcanum Tower'''.

	'''The Queen's Ward'''-		'''The Queen's Ward'''- The place where the Queen's Palace is located. The Queen's Ward is loaded with mammoth numbers of Clerk's offices, Grand Hotels (more proper than inns), estates that are rented or owned by visiting nobility, and where the city Guard Barracks is. The Queen's Armory is also located which contains not only weapons for the citizens to defend the city but also is where the standing army that does so is kept.

	'''The Furnaces'''-		'''The Furnaces'''- Winterweir's Foundry district. Large amounts of smoke come out of here as they have adopted modernized (mostly from the Industrial Era countries of Almania and Lartan) manufacturing techniques. They're honestly doing a pretty poor job of it and the factories function at only a fraction of what they could but they're learning. Black smoke pours from this area at all times.

The vast libraries and secret compartments of the extra-dimensional space filled tower contain more than enough power but few are willing to test their limits as they once did.

	'''The Halls of Tyros'''-		'''The Halls of Tyros'''- A vast and beautiful domed city within a city that contains the Church of Tyros' heart. It is here that all of Winterweir's greatest religion's leaders dwell in contemplation of the Justice God. It is inhabited by mostly genuine priests as opposed to legal priests (see the Citadel of Justice). Many visitors from the churches of other lands attend here daily.


	'''House of Parliament'''-		'''House of Parliament'''- The House of Parliament is the center for Winterweir's 200 Lords and 200 common citizens (including Knights). The place is nearly as powerful as the Queen and constantly scheming for more power as they defend their rights to war on one another plunder their domiciles.


	'''Palace of Light'''-		'''Palace of Light'''- Queen Alusan's great castle that is only used to a quarter of its capacity. The Queen must devote most of the funds to the maintaining of the kingdom's finances and has not nearly enough to spend on the frivolity of the nobility that the Old King envisioned.

	For a land as undeveloped as Winterweir, Alfein is one of the most beautiful cities in the world~~, at~~ least from afar. Built to resemble one of the lost ancient cities of Alacarn's Empire, the city is one that could never hope to rebuild its glory should it ever be sacked again. Many of the citizens themselves refer to the Old King's folly in spending so much to build the vast columns, temples, and statues that fill the place. In the less prosperous wards, the fountains are fouled and the walls are covered in excrement and graffiti. Many buildings made of crude stone are also hidden amongst the cracks of the more glorious.		For a land as undeveloped as Winterweir, Alfein is one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
