The Hill

This is the oldest section of Freeport, dating back to the dark elf city that sat in the same location centuries ago. It is a collection of three hills packed tightly togeather. The hills are the only elivated area in the otherwise flat Freeport plane.

A 30ft stone wall surrounds the Hill, built as a secondary line of defense and now to keep out the Freeport Militia.

A single waterway, the Marr River, cuts through the hills on its way to Dockside (and eventually the ocean of tears), forming several small ponds between the three hills along the way. Many of the buildings on the hill are brand new or made of well-maintained stone and imported woods.

The northern side of the hill are dominated by the Hall of Truth and the Temple of Marr.

The shops here are among the most exclusive and expensive in Freeport, but the reign of the militia elsewhere has driven some less prestigious buisness to the Priests of Marr into the hill as well.

Gates and Markets District

This district nearly encompasses half of Freeport and is what visitors and travelers think of as the city proper. It includes most of the open marketplaces, the massive main gate, the arena, the Academy of Arcane Science campus, and a large number of warehouses and mid-range shops.

The Militia controls the Gates and Market district with iron-handed discipline, tolerating no threat to Lucan's rulership. Only the need to continue to encourage trade has reined in the Militia's militant regime at all, and Lucan's warrriors are ordered to display a calm and easy manner to visitors.

Typical visitors spend most of their time in this part of Freepor because its full of taverns, shops, and open markets. The majority of the public guilds, middle class housing, warehouses, trade companies, and public buildings are located here, making this area the financial and cultural heart of the city.

Dockside

The Freeport Dockside is a long strip of tanneries, shipyards, fisheries, and the poorest residential areas found along the eastern edge of the city. It also includes the docks and the dock authority buildings. Poverty is extremely common in Dockside, and many residents here are homeless laborers and beggers. This has resulted in a high crime rate and the rise of the powerful thieves guild, the Underground. The guild runs Dockside, although it does so only with the consent of the Freeport Militia.
