On the eastern side of the city, across the Accra River, lies the historic '''Cyclade,''' the hill upon which the monastery of the Ashuran monks is seated. The hill originally held the "Minorus Basilica," built by the Church during Shallam's occupation of Ashtan. Easy access to this Basilica was what the Church had in mind when they built the [[Sanctuary Bridge]] across the river. In 172 AF, the [[Kharon]] monks took the fortress as their own, and when they moved to Hashan, they took the fortress with them. The Ashuran Monastery took its place. | On the eastern side of the city, across the Accra River, lies the historic '''Cyclade,''' the hill upon which the monastery of the Ashuran monks is seated.

The | The [[Arboretum of Enlightenment]], '''de Vermiis Art Gallery''', and [[Loving Hearts Orphanage]] were all built by the legendary [[Occultist]] [[Servelan de Vermiis]]. The Arboretum contains many strange and exotic plant species. The de Vermiis Art Gallery, while receiving critical praise, has been said by some to depict the Church in an unfair light. The Loving Hearts Orphanage is where children are led to be slaughtered so that their pineal glands can be harvested. | ||
The | The [[Iron Citadel]] was the former fortress and guildhall of the now-defunct Infernals guild. It was burned down by the angry citizens of Ashtan after the guild rebelled against the city. The guild tutor's magically-preserved head may still be seen piked before its ruins, a warning to all other potential turncoats. | ||
The '''Accron Overlook''', through which the Accra River flows, is the upper-class residential district. It is here that the houses of the merchant princes reside, as well as those of wealthy adventurers in nearby '''Golden Apple Estates.''' The [[Dowager Montagenet]] lives here in her classy but simple, Dorian-style mansion. Lady Korkill was known to reside here, resting on the laurels of her father's [[coal]]-mining company's meteoric rise from the ashes. Also of note is the estate of John Bailin, who made a fortune selling inks and dyes across the land. | The '''Accron Overlook''', through which the Accra River flows, is the upper-class residential district.
