Districts¶
The neighborhoods of Cadwallon, organized by fief. The PHB map keys 44 districts across the eleven fiefs, plus a handful of edge-features beyond the walls. Every district below has its own note (most are stubs — populated from the fief notes; deeper detail to be pulled from the PHB district gazetteer as the campaign engages with them).
District notes live under 02 City/Districts/<Fief>/. Edge-features and harbor zones live under 02 City/ directly.
How to use this
The fief each district belongs to is the authoritative parent; see the fief note for political context. When a session is about to touch a district, expand its note from the PHB district entry.
