Caste System

The Crate is split into 4 tiers labeled zero to three.

Tier Zero

The zeroeth tier also called box tier or simply the outskirts are less a rigid place and more so the area that is around the first tier. It is composed of farmland and poverty with small shanty houses and rivers run with muck and sewage. The people that live here are not citizens and do not hold citizen bands and thus do not have any legal jobs but many make money by selling food grown directly to the city or merchants living there. Getting money is often a very strong interest for the people in this area since if any person gets one thousand gold they can be given a tier-one citizen band. This rarely happens and once in tier one things like getting housing and a job are still of much concern. The tier has several gans within it mostly living on the port side where the poor peasants are slightly more wealthy due to the dock.

The First Tier

The first tier is composed of the slightly wealthy and merchant class and has a lot of skilled workers like Metalworkers, Magic Users, Priest, Cooks, Adventuring Guilds, Researchers, and Factory workers. This tier has lots of streets with some tunnel bunkers and a bunch of large market areas.

The Second Tier

The second tier is composed of nobles and well-to-do merchants. This is where most of the political happenings go on and where most of the power is concentrated. The only exception to this are the noble mail runners and various magical militiamen that are controlled by the nobles and often sleep in barracks at the edges of the second layer and parts of the first.

The Palace

The third layer is often just called the palace as it is solely used as a place for the kings palace. The palace stands as a massive pilliar over the entire city and is composed of a large garden which is said to have every plant on the planet a pond (which has a magic crystal infinitely making water) and the palace itself which is 5 stories tall and made of stone and metal.

River Crossings

Each layer has a river that separates it from the other layer stemming from the pond at the palace. These rivers have bridges that go across them manned with guards and checkpoints that give out day passes for travel between the layers. Anyone who tries to travel between the layers that isn't supposed to gets hit with a force wall that blocks them and often has them fall into the river where guards will follow from above and attack or arrest you when you finally get to shore. These bridgepoints also acts as Guard Points as well. Cost for the day passes are 30 gold for passage from zero to first and 100 from first to second, day passes to the palace are only given to The Select 100
