Balita City
BALITA CITY
a universe co-owned by manthepan
Balita, a city cloaked in shadow and near-constant rain.
This simmering maelstrom of constant conflict is a place where the tug of war between good and evil hangs in uneasy balance.
Outside the city limits, past the outskirts and suburbs where the rest of the world lies, Balita is regarded as a frightening anomaly. A place without the constraints of space or time, where the only laws to apply are ones created by entities whose names have long been forgotten by mortals.

The wealthy upstate area just outside the city proper. Its lush wildlands belong to fae, not humankind, however.
The City Center. This contains the Arts, Museum, Shopping, Financial and Municipal districts, as well as Balita University.
Balita City's religious district is a modest street of unfathomable length lined and filled with countless churches, synagogues, steeples, spires, temples and observatories. The sky is ever the pale gray of morning, unless it is the pitch black of a moonless night. Parishioners of a hundred faiths known and forgotten tread this street at all hours.
Known as the "Family District" for its pleasant atmosphere and comfortable living.
A peculiarly Eastern landscape trapped in a distant time. There's wifi, though.
A district untouched by technology, ruled entirely by nature. Divided into four districts by cardinal direction.
This glittering section of the city, hewn from sea glass and sleek stone, is only accessible on nights when the sky is clear and the moon reflects on the water.
Cover the criminal rot with a coat of varnish, polish it to shine, and pretend Litost isn't right around the corner.
The slums.
