Shimmer Ward
Within the inner walls of the city, the Shimmer Ward is where the noble houses and guild leaders of Rexxentrum dwell. Here, beautiful gardens and museums celebrate Zemnian culture, and specialist merchants promote their unique wares. The debate forum is rarely used aside from holidays, where intellectuals will challenge each other to arguments about philosophy and history. Cottages and tasteful estates sit behind tall fences and walls, and a pair of open squares host occasional galas when the local elite are in need of socialization.
Most prominent and well known of the Shimmer Ward is the Grand Archives of the Cobalt Soul, a massive ivory tower adorned with black crenalations to make the entire building look like a chess Rook. Blue robed librarians and archivists mill around the garden courtyards reading or engaging in tense discussions, while the simple garmented monks train in the yards.
