This is where most of the affluent people of the city live, it also house the government buildings though not the palace, that is situated in the grove of course. Here can be found more of the adminstrative buildings, where the populace can got to acquire licences, or lodge complaints, set up a business etc. There is also Moonbeam row, which house the embassies of the kingdoms with wich South heart has relations.
The Grove
Right at the centre of The city of Chimes lies the Grove. This is where the Druid Queen resides in her palace, which happens to be a living tree. Due to some magical shennaigans the tree is much bigger on the inside and seems to contain however many rooms are required at the time. The inside seems to shift and change as well with rooms not always being in the same place as they were yestreday. The Druids seem to have problem finding their way around, but i get loast evertytime.
