[QUOTE="GwydapLlew, post: 3010630, member: 40373"] First things first, Sasserine has been given a total face-lift from SCAP. It's definitely different from what I viewed in my mind's eye of the place. A sheltered harbor with lots of small islands inside the bay - if the waterways were manmade, I'd call them canals. Each district has a representative that sits on the Dawn Council, and while they aren't the rulers of the districts, they are generally the most powerful voice in each. I'll give a brief blurb for each district - I don't feel comfortable quoting word-for-word (as I told Stonegod over on the Paizo boards) but I'd be more than happy to drop you an email, Mal, with the details of the District Feats if Stonegod's summary above intrigues anyone. [b]Azure District:[/b] The waterfront. It houses the majority of the slums and lower-class citizens. The western section deals with the city's internal waterways, while the eastern section is home to the whaling industry. This district is represented by the Islarans. The East Market is known for the availability of exotic pets (ranging from vipers to wyverns). [b]Champion's District:[/b] This is where the soldiers and more martially-minded citizens live. There is a large arena - the Sasserine Arena - that holds fights at least once a week and the owners are attempting to steal some of the Free City's thunder with upcoming competitions. The representative is the Lorchester family. [b]Cudgel District:[/b] Solidly middle-class and solidly Cuthbertian in their outlook. Adventurers get gouged here - often by as much as 200%. The leaders here are the Sasserine branch of the Taskerhills. Rufus Laro is the head priest of the church of St. Cuthbert. :D [b]Merchant District:[/b] Located in the middle of the city, the bay opens directly onto this area.
