Rashenholt

Rashenholt is the capital city of the Othosian Empire. It is a major military center and trading port for that empire, as well as home to the nation's leadership and much of its nobility.

The peninsula that the city was built upon was largely swampland that has been converted or diverted with help of canals.

Districts
The city was divided into several districts.
 * Auldale, an upper-class district and home to many nobles, including the Emperor's Palace and the Emperor himself.
 * Black Street, a sealed off district once used as a quarantine zone for those afflicted by the Weeping Plague. It was formerly a combination of areas from Shalebridge and Oldtowne.
 * Crownsporte, an industrial and military port with some residences for local workers, although it is generally off limits to the public.
 * Flooded District, a pseudo-district that has been flooded and swamp-like for many years now. Few people live there except for gangs and homeless citizens. It was formerly part of the Northdockes district.
 * Hightower, an upper-class district mostly inhabited by wealthy merchants and some nobles.
 * Northdockes, a lower-class district and the largest docking area of the city.
 * Minetowne, a pseudo-district where many miners and related industries live and work. It is not a formal section of the city and is outside of the city walls.
 * Oldtowne, the original site of the city and home to middle and upper-class citizens. Downtowne is a pseudo-district within Oldtowne that marks the dense heart of the city.
 * Riverside, a pseudo-district outside of the city walls, home to many lower-class citizens.
 * Shalebridge, a lower and middle-class district.
 * Southside (or Dayporte), a pseudo-distrct of lower and middle-class citizens that is outside of the city walls but borders the Watchtower Arcanist Society.
 * Stonemarket, a middle-class district and home to many common merchants. The Nines is a pseudo-district within Stonemarket where some of the largest and most affluent markets exist.
