Jinse City

Grey areas are fully urban, although housing exists throughout much of Bei mi and Naan mi and the smaller islands.

The ancient capital of the Jinse Empire, what remains of the eastern of the two Great Empires of the Third Age. Still by far the largest city on the Noefran continent at nearly 1.500,000 people, it sits at the delta of three great rivers--the Jin, the Luo Ye, and the Huang Sho, surrounded by farmland that mostly goes to feed the maw of the city.

Ruled by 7 great lucian-born (aka tieflings) families with ties to 7 of the lucian Families, Jinse is a city swarming with devils and devil summoners. Seeing a hell-bred on the streets is common--imps serve their "masters" and sit on shoulders, while succubi staff some of the houses of joy. In reality, the devils are in charge and the families are merely their anchors in the Mortal plane.

Geography

After the Cataclysm raised the water level and turned the delta into a set of disconnected islands, the remains of the City occupy five of the larger ones as well as portions of the northern and southern mainland regions. Access to the islands is by boat--no bridges link most of the islands.

Jin Di

The Island of the Golden God is the spiritual and political center. The palace compound of Jinzhi rests in a huge walled estate, forbidden to most people. Also found here are the High Temple of Ravan and the House of Zagan. Most of the island is occupied by wealthy estates, making it one of the less-densely-populated of the 5.

Jin Mi

The Island of Golden Rice is the commercial center of the city, and is by far the most densely populated. The major market, run by the Family of Ala, is found here, as is the House of Akvan. The portal network node is found here, near the markets.

Jin Zhao

The Islands of Golden Pleasure are residential islands for various people, mostly of the middle-class and above. It houses the House of Allocer.

Jin Yue

The Island of Golden Light is mostly residential. Second-most dense, it houses many of the lower-middle-class folks. Here resides the House of Namtar.

Jin Bao

The Island of the Golden Fortress is the military home of the nation. It houses the House of Danjal, as well as the military headquarters.

Naan Mi and Bei Mi

The mainland regions to the south (Naan) and north (Bei) are dominantly farmland, worked by serfs and slaves, living in squalor and filth. The ports here are also the only way to set sail over the ocean beyond--the island ports only cater to barges, ferries, and yachts suited for travel in the sheltered delta.
