Nevernight City is divided into the East City District and the West City District. The two districts are sharply contrasted, complete with separate city gates.
Entering through the East City Gate reveals a wide, smooth, and prosperous avenue that stretches straight ahead for a full ten miles. Shops line both sides of the street, and pedestrians bustle about like a weaving shuttle. Everyone passing by is luxuriously dressed, moving in groups of three or five while chatting and laughing.
Stepping through the West City Gate, however, leads onto a muddy, potholed road that makes walking quite difficult.
