Garrison Heights
Perched above the rest of the city, Garrison Heights has its own set of inner walls to fend off invaders that might manage to cut their way into the city proper. Within, clusters of administrative buildings jostle for space with military barracks, all encircling the five hundred yard stretch of parade grounds which dominates the center of the heights. Local troops are kept in trim on the ground, wheeling to and fro in regular drills.
While the parade ground may be at the center of the heights, the buildings that surround it have their own importance. The largest structure in the city looms along the southern side of the rise, the Scintillating River Palace constructed for the Empresses' pleasure, should she ever choose to visit this far-flung city. Near it, the somewhat less imposing structure of the Satrap's Palace rests against the western wall, while the graceful domes of the Immaculate Temple stand with the pride of the greatest and most important edifice of the Immaculate Order in all the East.
