Badenbach

== Description ==
=== The Surface City ===
==== Altstadt ====
Altstadt is the oldest part of the city, though very few original buildings still exist, having been replaced after fires or other magical catastrophise destroyed them. However some notable exceptions still exists, such as the Old Baron's Mansion or the Ring of Taverns. Nowadays, Altstadt is primarily a residential district. Densely packed with family housing, apartment buildings and taverns. Altstadt buildings often are a mix of stone and wood. Heavy stone slabs make up the foundations and stone or log pillars reinforce the plank wood walls. 
Though in the early days of Badenbach, Altstadt did have a stone wall, most of that either got destroyed or was removed in the next few decades and left in disrepair. Nowadays most of the wall is gone, existing primarily as a conceptual boundary of the district though most of the gates and a few sections of the walls still existed and were eventually renovated.

==== The Arcanum ====
The Arcanum is in many ways the beating heart of the City. The Arcanum is arranged in a circle with a main road running east to west. Each of the nine major department's main campus are located on the Arcanum, equidistantly arranged along the edge. At the far end of the Arcanum in the west is the Shimmerhand Palace, centre of the High Council of the Shimmerhand Association and its administration.
The Arcanum is surrounded by the Vosoyok Walls. Great walls of Aasimoid and Brass adorned with major and minor towers, enchantments and other magic reinforcements. The major towers are adorned with great contraptions Aasimirite, capable of empowering the defenders or flinging powerful spells at their foes.

Nowadays it is primarily a residential district, home to the majority of the student body and academics working in the Arcanum.

==== Grünwälder ====
Grünwälder, technically part of Altstadt is a residential district that's well known for being the home of the Unending Circle, a druidic circle. They are often seen as simpletons and uncivilized and uneducated by the mages of the Arcanum. The whole district is filled with greenery, be it trees, bushes or grassery and the people of the other districts, mistrustful of the druidic circle avoid Grünwälder. 
The basements of Grünwälder connect to the Under Green.

Due to the inherently corrupting nature of necromancy, the catacombs are heavily guarded against both outsiders and students.
