Allora

*"Welcome to Allora, buddy. If ya can make it here... Well, yer probably rich as Hell." - Nick Blackwarrren*

Allora is the most densely populated borough of the Unified City, and is generally considered the urban core of the metropolis. Allora serves as the Unified City's hub for communications, finance, economic, political and cultural hub. As the home of Victory Tower, Allora also serves as the cultural identifier for the City. Allora is bounded by the North River, and the boroughs of Beckettsville and Destry Bay. At last census count, Allora's population was estimated to be 1,705,750.

Allora serves as home for many prominent branches of media conglomerates, as well as entertainment offices.

## Districts

### Financial District

Allora's financial district is dominated largely by Victory Tower, the head office of Victory Financial and several prestigious financial and law firms. It is also home to the Allora Stock Exchange, connected to the world's major trade markets, though the New York Stock Exchange is still the dominant financial force. Major banks and currency exchanges also have offices and branches in Allora's financial district. There are no residents in the Financial District save the few who keep residence in Victory Tower.

### Tolon Park

*<For expanded information on Tolon Park>*

Not a district per se, but its central location, size, and culture of its own cause it to be seen as a location all it's own. It's borders with the Fashion and Entertainment Disticts serve for mixing and inspiration of subcultures. Despite it's tourist-friendly atmosphere, it is still recommended to avoid at night, being a place of elevated crime and violence. Seeking to keep the area safe from lycanthropes and vampires, the local duchy keeps several knights on patrol.

### Fashion District

Bounded by Tolon Park, Allora's fashion district is still endeavoring to become a location on national and global tours and for it's own Fashion Week to gain renown. It is currently home to several couture boutiques and jewelers, as well as higher-end clothing boutiques for discerning buyers. Among the Fae population, Sidhe politics often clash over the newest haute couture, and which human designers to serve as muse to.

### Entertainment District

Across the park from the Fashion District lies the Entertainment District. Most prominent is the Palace of Wisdom, a nightclub that has lasted in a difficult industry for decades. The Riverview and Sunbow Theaters stand close-by a haven for Broadway-caliper productions of musicals and dramas both touring and original. The local music scene, once home to many up-and-coming musicians, has largely been gentrified out, with the Palace serving as the only venue in the borough for most acts. Connected to the University, Allora Conservatory Amphitheater remains the second-to-none location for orchestral and operatic performances in the Argent City.

### Allora University

A private university taking up nine blocks of astronomically expensive Alloran real-estate, Allora University is often considered a City, even world all on its own. A member of the Ivy League, the university serves as an bastion of academia and innovation, as well as an incubator for fresh graduates of their finance and computer science program. The Allora Conservatory Amphitheater and Phoenix Stadium also lie on its grounds and serve as the few places where non-students and staff can walk the grounds without being approached by campus security. The University has a larger than average mythic population, primarily Sidhe, but others often find spots through family connections or through merit scholarships.

### North Allora

*"I'm from Allora just means 'I ain't from **North** Allora', and they never let ya forget it on either side of it." - Nick Blackwarren*
