A City like any other.

A typical city with the City hall at the center, different establishments from all four corners, business firms, various size of houses which is located based on the social status of the families.

The nearer the house to the city hall the richer and more powerful the family is, that's why the small houses beside the city walls were considered commoners, but those who lives outside were what they considered the poor people.

Most of the people inside the city thinks that the villages outside the city walls were uncivilized and what they usually imagine is that outsiders were barbaric people from slums. But little did they know, outside the city were peaceful villages and paradise like environment where trees is very abundant and animals that people inside the city can only see in books were just walking on the roadside.
