Districts

The city of Mhed is a bustling metropolis on the northern border of the Republic of Fronen. The city is divided into 5 major districts.

Government Square

Government Square is the situated in the Heart of Mhed, atop a large hill. Here is where the Duke's Palace is located as well as the city library. This place is the center of th ducal bureaucracy and is frequented by all sorts of people. The nobility have their estates here. The large extravagant manors hold not only nobles, but their retainers, scribes, servants etc. Because it is a wealthy district, beggars are commonplace here.

Right in front of the gates to the Duke's Palace is a small public park. In it's center is a monument. The monument had four equestrian statues looking inward at one another, one for each of Mhed's four most recent Dukes, Cedric, Enzeru, Tiridius and Alexius. However, during Black January, Republican soldiers toppled the sculpture. The space remains vacant to be filled by a later Duke. The statues look inward a a large slab on which the laws of the Republic and the Laws of the Duchy are written.

This is second oldest district in the city.

The Port

The Port District is where Mhed first began. Mhed was a small fishing village that grew exponentially after a local lord offered money to anyone who'd settle there. The Port is located along the coast of Mhed. It is where the docks are located. In this district one can see ships coming in and out the harbor. Mhed is a major trading center.

The port is the seediest part of the city. There are multiple inns, taverns, and houses of ill repute frequented by sailors and some locals. There are dark twisting alleyways where thieves and smugglers are occasionally found. Other than that, there is little to see in the port. There are a lot of poorer residences here and although there are many inns, most noble visitors will either stay with a local noble, or find an inn in a different district.
