Central District

The Central District is, aptly, the name given to the innermost district within the city of Boundbrook's walls.

c. 1209 GA
Wrapping around the Keep housing the Imperial Palace next to the waterfront and at the heart of the opulent inner city, the Central District is known across the empire for its grandiose market square, towering colonnades, and glittering tributes to ages past. The newest attraction in the square, placed forthrightly ahead of the impending festival, is a fountain complete with an imposing, gold-plated statue of the current victorious emperor, Arcus Zath-Garon. Strewn across said statue as well as fountains, streetlights, and shopfronts alike is plenty of garland and laurel wreaths considered symbols of prestige in the empire. The square as well as the various shops radiating outward from there is quite crowded, more so than usual, as tourists mill about ahead of the festival.

The Central District of the city hasn't changed much in the thousand and some years since The Day of the Vanishing City save a few architectural and technological updates. Multi-story buildings dot the skyline, elaborate skyscrapers rivaling the magnificence of the Imperial Palace, and smoke stacks from factories belching smog over the Docklands, clockwork towers placed wherever a wayward city planner could get away with it.
