A Guide to Levkarest
A twelve foot high stone wall surrounds the city of Levkarest
in Borca. It is a city built onto the side of a hill as well as partially in the valley of another. The city rises
up to the middle then more as one goes northeast. A small valley forms between two northeastern ridges. The city
also starts to rise as one goes southwest. The northwest slopes down but not as much as the southeast and east, which
is the largest slope of the city as well as the most poor. The western most section of the city slopes downward away
from the main body of the city.
The north
and northeastern portion of the city is where the noble and more wealthy residents of city live, with of course, the exception
of the Merchants Square.
The middle, eastern, south, and southeastern sections of the
city are populated by the masses of the poor. As one travels upward in the city, so does the apparent living standard.
Aughen'eesis Keep: (New name is Aughen'eesis Keep.
Old name was Chateau D'Amoureux.)Formerly known as Chateau D'Amoureux, this inner walled section of the city now holds a noble
family from Gundarak acting as permanent ambassadors of the country. The castle used to house some of the lesser nobles
of the Boritsi family. It has stables as well as a guest house. The castle was originally built for military defense
of the city, however now it is purely residential. All of the open area is decorated by a beautifully vast and elaborate
garden.
