Charmonde

Info
Under control of Queen Armalu. It is a sprawling tourist trap purposely created to be a maze.

The two statues dwarfing the entrance to Charmonde represent two popular legends from folklore: The Jack, a figure found all throughout the Ninth World, and The Piper, a lesser-known companion celebrated in the northern countries.

CROCUS DISTRICT
A general produce district named for the crocus flower. The poisonous nature of this flower is unfortunately quite appropriate, as Charmonde’s bureaucracy often leads to food finally going up for sale long after it has expired.

RADIANCE DISTRICT
Home of The Daily Domino, Charmonde’s weekly newspaper that shines a light on all worthwhile news! (as deemed by the queen). This sun-like shape is filled with a wandering mass of rube-goldberg components that create the paper and fling it across the city.

TANAGER DISTRICT
A liberal interpretation of the tanager bird, this district is where artists from across the Ninth World get their art rated on a scale from 1-10, with higher numbers indicating better quality, except for 1, which is an honor bestowed upon only the best art.

SESKII DISTRICT
Charmonde’s “officially sanctioned” black market. Portable shops open, sell their wares, and collapse again in the blink of a far step, and the only thing more abundant than the poorly-disguised undercover police are the many, many Aneens.

Additionally, denizens of the hill refer to the rest of Charmonde as the FORLORN DISTRICT. While this “district” produces the majority of Charmonde’s physical and mental exports, it is snubbed by the hill districts as being “shadowed from the queen.”
