Palace District

The political heart of the walled city-state of Fastheld, the Palace District is also located in what is effectively the geographic center of Fastheld. The Imperial Thoroughfare and Lightholder River bring travelers from the outer districts to the central township of Lightholder Crossroads. North of the crossroads, beyond Lightholder Bridge, the Palace Road leads up Caryas Hill to Fastheld Keep.

Forest District

The southern portion of Fastheld is the primary stronghold of the city-state’s noble houses, with thriving townships and majestic keeps along the Imperial Thoroughfare and Lightholder River.

River District

The northern portion of Fastheld is the secondary stronghold of the nobles houses, with bustling communities and keeps along the Fastheld River, Aegis Road and Market Road. The River District also is home to a major installation of the Church of True Light, known as Sun’s Keep.

Market District

The eastern portion of Fastheld is a thriving merchant quarter where craftsmen and other purveyors ply their wares. The Market District also serves as home to Fastheld’s major merchant guilds.

Shadow District

The western portion of Fastheld isn’t a very nice place. In the age before the first Wildling War and the rise of the Aegis, the Shadow District actually stood as the original city of Fastheld. But in the past millennium, it has become a festering hive of thieves, cutpurses and brigands.
