Should, for whatever reason, a journal be important to your character, the option is here for you.
Highfields Situated above Prettybone, the Highfields district of Corus is neither well-off, nor badly-off. Catering to those with some money, but not enough to buy their way into one of the city's nicer areas, Highfields is a tolerable, if not completely desirable, place to live and conduct business. Subforums: The Thirsty Duck
Prettybone Located between Highfields and the River Olorun, this slightly upscale district of the city boasts a large marketplace and reasonably attractive, if usually cramped, living spaces.

Flash Like Prettybone, this is a slightly upscale district of the city, though it does see more in the way of marketplace scams. Best known for a large, reasonably well-kept park at its center, an unusual amount of green space for an inner-city area that is neither the Common, nor the Palace, Flash lies along the southern bank of the River Olorun, north of Unicorn and Patten, and east of the Lower City
Patten One of the city's more fashionable districts, Patten is a well-to-do area and home to various merchants and citizens of high esteem. Surrounded by Flash, the Lower City, Upmarket, and Unicorn, the district's dwellings are comfortable, and residents live with a reasonable sense of security. Subforums: Patten Kennel

Upmarket The most commercial district in the city, Upmarket is middling, both in quality and in stature of its residents. Subforums: Upmarket Kennel
Unicorn The most prestigious district in the city, Unicorn lies to the east of Patten and Upmarket, and to the south of Flash. As upscale as a citizen can get without relocating to the palace, the high-security (which over time has led to the lowest crime rate in Corus) area is as fashionable as it is pricey.

Temple District While Tortall is hardly known for it's architectural masterpieces, Corus's Temple District is one of the better-kept of the Eastern Lands, a fact that is well-known to the gods. Subforums: Mithros' Temple,

The Lower City Being the poorest district in Corus has also made the Lower City the most crime-ridden in the city, and few higher-paying job opportunities make becoming well-off enough to move elsewhere a rarity. Still, to many commoners, 'The Cesspool' is home, and they make do. Subforums: The Court of the Rogue,

Dining Areas The classes do not dine together, nor does the royal family spend all mealtimes with their court. Because of this, the palace has several different dining areas. Subforums: State Banquet Hall,
Pages' Mess,
Servants' Hall
Library The palace has more than its share of libraries, however its largest, and most impressive, lies in an outbuilding and is the favored destination for scholars and avid readers. Consisting of four stories, three are filled with shelving, and the ground floor consists of small workspaces, administrative areas, and a small lounge.
Gardens The palace gardens, while not the most practical use of such large expanses of space, are quite remarkable. Carefully designed by mages gifted in that area, the impressive green space is one where anyone would like to spend a sunny day.
Training Yards The perfect location for pages and squires to improve their skills, and for knights to keep skills already gained sharp. There are several yards - some smaller ones ideal for sparring, some longer ones best suited for jousting and archery, and some that are just larger in general, best suited for group training.
The Stables The horses in the palace stables serve countless purposes. Some pull carriages, others are used by the pages, or are the mounts of knights, and more still belong to noble residents or guests. To accommodate such a large number, the stables actually consist of three separate buildings, with a large staff of grooms and stablehands.
Chapel of the Ordeal This is the building that makes knights. At midwinter of their fourth year as squires, youngsters come here and sit an evening vigil. Within it lies the Chamber of the Ordeal, where squires must face their fears in silence to become knights, or die trying.
