A Visitor's Guide to Nokt: New Town: General Description

NewTown is the latest addition to the city of Nokt; wooden buildings, larger spaces, and unpaved streets are the hallmark of this section of Nokt. The city grows so fast that new businesses and residences seem to spring up almost overnight.

As rent and the cost of living have increased in Old Town Nokt, many of the town’s less-prosperous guilds have relocated to NewTown. For some strange reason, most of the guilds have congregated in the southeastern area of NewTown; this area has quickly been christened “The Guild Quarter.”

Though not a slum by any means, certain parts of NewTown see almost no protection by the Town Guard; there simply aren’t enough of them to provide good coverage for the place. As a result, muggings, theft, burglary – and more – are much more common here than elsewhere in Nokt.

Despite the “rough and tumble” reputation that is developing, NewTown is full of little, independent shops, homes, eating halls, and stables – almost a town unto itself, actually (missing only things like governmental buildings).
