"District" or "quarter" are good choices, and, I guess "ward" is good, too. Maybe there's a term out there that's better suited to a fantasy setting, though. But when it's all said and done, it's not the names that you use for the districts, it's the quality of the setting and the vibrancy of the npcs that will make it come to life. Good luck, and Happy Designing! | Quarters sounds good, but can you have just three? Maybe I need to divide the bigger northwest district into two halves?
