Neighborhood summaries
Main street
The town's only straight road leads from the harbor to the outdoor market, which is right inside the stone wall.
Mostly full of open stalls at sunrise, and of loiterers at sunset.
Harbor
City officers direct the intake, taxation, and inventory of incoming ships here. The stone making up the harbor was hand-excavated by local laborers. There are warehouses here owned by local and foreign companies. Only a few are outfitted with workshops.
Shipyard district
Companies here build, repair, modify ships, and adjust vessel weaponry, masts, number of oars, amount of cargo space, etc.
Whaler Town
Here are the homes and workplaces of whalers, whale processors, and ivory carvers.
Besides modest homes there are the docks, warehouses, tool shops, whale parts shops, and stone whale pits.
Pearl Town
Here are large churches, villas of reputable merchants, and walled homes of semi-retired knights and rich people.
Thelka's Fortress
A walled stone fortress housing and training active-duty heavy cavalry. There seems to be 6-12 servants per soldier, a fraction of which live inside the castle.

Shops for literate people and homes of people who work at them. The university is here, and so are stationers, paper makers, bookbinders, and some temples.
