Vatica City

Vatica City is the capitol of the Kingdom of Valen, and the seat of religious power for the Five Divines. Though each of the gods is at a heightened power only the leader of the divines, The Master, claims the city as a holy place.

City Districts
The city is broken up into five districts, each for one of the divines that is worshiped there, with the Castle on the Lake at the center. The unspoken hidden sixth district of Vatica is the Depths, the underbelly of the city that the wretched and destitute call home.

Mercantile District
The district dedicated to play and earning a quick buck, the inhabitants of the streets of the mercantile district belief in profit above all else, no matter if it must be bartered or stolen away. This is why the Trickster often walks the streets, offering his blessing to the mischief makers who call it home.

Armament District
The district that pays homage to the goddess of battle and adventurers. Only finest wordsmiths and armor-men are extended invitations to work in the forges and smithies of the Advocate.

Artisan District
The district devoted to the Inquirer, muse of artists and protector of travelers. Exotic imports, brave new designs, and inventions of all kinds can be located on its streets.

Pabulum District
The district that revels in the beauty and giving nature of the Mistress, queen of the gods and mother to all. Foodstuffs of all kinds from both far and near can be bought and sold on the open markets. To travel down the darker alleys will teach you also why the goddess is sometimes called the Queen of Monsters.

Dignitary District
The district that worships the Master in all his glory. Clerks, Lawyers, and contract-men can be located here at all hours of the day and night.

Castle on the Lake
The home of the High King of Valen, the Castle on the Lake is the seat of power for all executive function in the Kingdom. Any decisions that cannot be made in the various territories are made here, and criminals of the highest order are tried within its walls. Great heroes are invited to sup with the King inside the castle, and the greatest among them are offered a place in the Royal Guard.

The Depths
The sewers and canals of Vatica city are the worst kept secret in the world of criminal enterprise. Though they are not officially sanctioned, when looking for individuals who do not mind blurring the lines between right and wrong, no where else in the South can you find such a large selection of the unscrupulous.
