	'''Driver's''' is the largest tavern in the Outer West and the most famous in the area. Its original construction is still somewhat visible when you find yourself in its common room, but over the decades it has seen many expansions until it grew into the four-story behemoth it is today. Many bards have made their fame on its well worn stage, more people have received a black-eye in one of its stories barfights, and even the most well traveled are sure to find themselves a wealth of surprising entertainment.

	''' ~~dwa~~'''		'''Halls of Commerce''' is the place to go if you're looking to buy or sell shipments of goods from in and out of Suhder. The ever rowdy hall have got you covered if you are looking for a shipment of Nitherian Haxton hides, a boat-load of Craeda Marsh-mussels, or a container of Nurbaeran crystal. Well over six-dozen Registrars will help you put down an order, or bid on what's currently on offer as long as you've got the gold.

	'''The Omphalos''' serves as the center for politics and high society. This where one finds the Archon's Reach, the Assembly ministries, and the Platinum Court: the highest court in the Astran League. Homes of the Suhderian elite are mostly found here, along with their offices and some of the most exclusive stores and establishments. With access to this ward being tightly regulated to politicians, the elite and their servants, and a lucky (or rich) few, it has earned a reputation in unrivaled opulence and exclusivity with rumors of lavish parties often finding their way to other wards.

	'''The Suhder Port''' is built on and around the estuary where the Inris river connects to the Lunarest Basin. Dozens, if not hundreds, of ships make dock here at any given time. The port is regulated by Dock Wardens, who allocate space for the different merchants, shipping companies, and fleets of fishers that call this port their home. From here smaller vessels ferry goods all around Suhder through the complex system of canalways that sprawl in an ever growing network through the city. if you're looking for a day's work you're sure to find something here, but you'll have to be a savvy negotiator to get a good price for your time.

	'''The Temple Ward''' houses all of the major temples of deities worshipped in Suhder and the wider Astran League. Most recognizable is the Cathedral to the Dawnfather Pelor, with its gold-plated roofing visible from almost everywhere in the city. One can also find the temple of the Nightmother, and smaller shrines of worship to the Shepard of Seasons, Giving Mistress, and the Knowing Matron. The catacombs of the Mothtender is where the recently departed come to rest - if they can afford it. Tenders of the Flame guide them down into the complex and expansive network of the catacombs, where one could easily be lost without a Tender.

	'''The Lyceum''' is the foremost place for education one can find within all the League. With several highly praised colleges and universities housed in magnificent halls of study and wisdom, knowledge is never far away - for those who can afford it. Artistic or intellectual enrichment is readily available in the Lyceum, and even the Arcane can now be studied in the recently established, though highly controversial, Silver Spire Academy.

'''The Lunaria Promenade''' is, by many accounts, one big marketplace.

If something is for sale, you're sure to find it here; from food and drink, to magically enchanted objects, and any service one may think of - legal or otherwise. Some of the Promenade's best known locales include the riverside [[Sun Salute Tavern]], the newly popular [[Phelies' Fantasy]] - a purveyor of enchanted goods -, and Clamor Glamour - where everything metal is made -, though one of the wards biggest attractions is no doubt the [[Radion]].

	'''The Hub''' is the largest residential ward within Suhder's walls, a living place for most of the city's middle class - including merchants, traveling traders, ship captains, and guild apprentices. The Ward is a patchwork of thousands of personal homes, tenements, and guildhalls of all shapes and sizes, mixed with a smattering of different inns and taverns in every nook and cranny. Several neighborhoods are clustered together and bound by tightly set streets, occasionally broken up by park greens or the Inris Canalways that connect the ward with the Lunaria Promenade and Suhder Port.

	'''The Ratways''' is the sewer system that runs below all of inner Suhder and even parts of the Lissar and Outer wards. This is where most of the ancient, built over parts of the city can still be seen if one were to venture down and these sewers run through many older sewers and long forgotten streets. Though this is not a ward like the others it's outer reaches are still guarded by the Ptarian Order. The Ratways, unsurprisingly, see use by many lawless types and organizations that would rather hide their activities. The sprawling nature and lack of law bringers has made the Ratways into a natural fit for many seedy and shady types. It is well known that several criminal organizations use the tunnels to move about the city unseen, and even have their bases and safehouses in some of the many corners hidden in the shadows, fake walls, or well camouflaged doors where the patrols of the Ptarian order would never find them. Rumors have it that if you manage to find one of the Stalkir's hideouts they will accept you into their ranks.

	'''Lissar Ward''' is the larger of the two unwalled districts. Officially given Ward status only a few decade ago the Lissar ward was originally a gathering place for the growing Casteless population who were not allowed to own property within the city walls. Now it is a vibrant, largely self-sustaining town of its own, complete with its own Lissar Militia that guard the streets. Despite having long outgrown its status of a slum, crime still runs parts of Lissar and it is often advised to stay indoors at night unless you know where you're going.

Once a year, on Saint Arwyn's Ascension, the Steel Vanguard uses the Radion to recruit "Arwyn's Chosen" in a week long tournament they call the Cosmic Cleansing and with massive sacks of gold promised to the winner this draws in hopeful fighters from all walks of life.

	'''Archon's Reach''' is the Archon's residence. At 300-feet tall this elegantly designed spire has long since been the architectural pride of Suhder's masons and home to the Archon. Rumor has it that if you look at the northern most balcony on a full Lunaris moon you will be able to see the Archon praying to the Nightmother.		'''Archon's Reach''' is the Archon's residence.

			Suhder is set within the estuary where the Inris river and Lunarest Bay meet each other, close to the equator. With its tropical climate, temperatures can range from blisteringly hot and humid to a pleasant cool with the latter being more often the case due to a prevailing north-western wind. For most types of weather, Suhder finds itself in the ideal location, with water ways spilling in every direction only heavy rainfall or particularly drastic spring snowmelt floods in the Inris and the city in turn.
