The Patrician's Quarters

The Patricians Quarters
While the poor and middle class make their homes within the Industrial Quarters and docks, Sedaire’s nobility and higher classes reside within the Patrician’s Quarters. It is also where some of the facilities normally associated with the rich or those in power are present, including the trader’s post, the Sanctum (church equivalent) and the forum. Ironically this came about mostly because the area was too hilly for farm work and too far the mines for the factories to be as efficient. Still, the Patricians Quarters are amongst the cleanest and best places to live in the city, along with being the most organized. The streets here are clearly marked and actually form a proper grid even across its many levels. There is a lot of greenery, while gardens and plazas are much more common than in the other zones. Things aren’t quite as cramped here, with wide open streets and even the poorest house having at least a decent sized lawn available.

The Patrician’s quarters have always been home to some form of strangeness or the other – be it the debauchery the nobility tend to get into, the madness of the sanctum’s priests or the murders and intrigues that come with inter-family rivalries, to even the assassinations and plots of overthrowing the royalty, the Patrician’s quarters has it all. And it is through this place of mystery and intrigue that you must now journey in order to unlock the secrets of the Nihilists, and the

A (very) vague idea of the kind of look we’re going for, except a bit more distributed / more space and probably darker in lighting.
