We finally got around to planning out the RP and questing location and decided to condense it to a city! If you have questions you may post them in the main thread. I tried simplifying the areas as much as possible, but if there is any confusion, don't hesitate to ask!

( Soul Emporium is located in the black circle )



Middle Market: The marketplace where lanterns and other strange and exotic goods are sold. Neon lights on buildings and lanterns suspended above light the area at night. During the day it is filled with people and the streets are lined with vendors. A chaotic but exciting place.


Upper Market: A beautiful marketplace where you can find more normal goods, ranging from cheap to exquisite. Charming shops are tucked within buildings and the streets are always maintained.
The section across the river is the Farmers Market.



Lower Market: A shady version of middle market. Things happen here that we don't agree with. Do NOT let your spirits run around here, especially young ones!
(If you are caught RPing here, you do so at your own risk. Something unexpected might happen....ho ho)



This area is pretty much anything goes. Restaurants, libraries, shopping centers, theaters. Whatever RP settings you can imagine! Of course, still within the context of the city.


Downtown: A beautifully laid out area of the city. A center for art, entertainment, and fine dining. People gather here for large events and parades. The financial district also makes up a large part of this area.
Younger spirits might feel out of place alone here.



Park: Everyone loves the park! Great for big events, playing with friends, or just relaxing and watching the trees. The park houses a beautiful botanical garden, a large zoo, and hundreds of private nooks just waiting to be discovered!


Residential: Three major residential areas each containing many smaller neighborhoods.

- North of Market - overall middle-class living but with a range from quaint to quite comfortable. Charming housing and smaller neighborhoods above upper market. More modern housing above the downtown area.

-South of Market - poorer areas controlled by the happenings in lower market. A more dangerous part of town. Rouge spirits!!

-Upper Park - Very nice but very expensive housing! Overlooks the park.

Where do you live?

Here are some references that might give you some insight to what the city looks like. I was imagining a cross between europe and japan plus a little more whimsy...It's hard to explain. Anyways! Mix all these things together in your head.
