civilizations in the world, founded c.800 years ago. It is a labyrinth of buildings, streets and markets, and is well-known for it's strong military built by it's king, King Alexander Ulrich. It is populated by most intelligent species, notably Humans, though it contains a lot of diversity.

## Sub-Locations

The Main City can be divided into three "districts". These does not include The Avaritian Farmland or Sewers.

-The Housing District is where most of the population lives. It consists of slums, streets of curb-side stalls and rickety old family businesses. Among it's dark and dirty alleyways you may find a fight club, a small bar, or the hideout of a small-time gang. The District itself can be split- much of the district is quite pleasant and fair, but search and you will find the many slums, of which are populated by the poorest of the peasants and thugs.

-The Upper District is the oldest district and where the city began, although almost all of the original Avaritia is gone by 1772. The Upper-District is where the upper-middle and upper class of Avaritia reside. In the heart of the District is the cities Market, rivaled only by the great markets of Mirbiliah. The Market consists of a small maze of stalls and merchants surrounded by a circular row of shops and businesses.

-The Royal District is a crescent strip of Avaritia that includes much of the Cities military and governmental buildings, as well as the richest of Avaritian neighborhoods. To the top-most part of the district, and the city as a whole, is Fort Silverstone. Surrounding this is similarly military-related structures and shops relating to the military, notably many blacksmiths, taverns and other buildings. Along the crescents edge is other streets, mostly filled with the largest and nicest homes Avaritia has to offer, with some infamous ones such as the homes of nobles like that of Crowell Manor. At the tip of the crescent opposite Fort Silverstone lies the most important of buildings- such as the hospital and at the very tip, sitting atop a small plateau along the side of the Avaritian Coast lies Castle Avaritia.

## History

Though the date of the exact founding of Avaritia is unknown, it's widely though to have been roughly 1000 years after Humans first appeared- making the city nearly 800 years old. It was founded by Benedict Avarice, marking the beginning of both the city and the cruel reign of the Avarice bloodline.
For many hundred years, the following generations of the Avarice Bloodline ruled over the Avaritian Kingdom. The Avarices ruled with greed and though in some aspects they did make the kingdom powerful, it was only for their own gain and often the betterment of the lives of the population were ignored entirely. This changed in recent years with Alexanders Rebellion, an event in which Alexander Ulrich seized the Avaritian throne, marking himself Avaritia's first Non-Avarice ruler. Ulrich has become known widely as a beloved and benevolent leader. Currently the city is known for its ongoing war against crime.
