Tolsda

Tolsda is a city of layers, wrapping around the outside of a large, grassy hill. There is a bottom layer, middle layer, and top layer, all connected by stairs carved into the hills structure. It is also the festival capital of Harilen.

It appears to always be in a constant state of celebration, having colorful banners and flowers decorating every which way. There are always vendors out in the central circle, selling things from nice clothing to pretty little trinkets.

Unlike the other cities of Harilen, Tolsda is made primarily from wood, brick and terracotta, giving a more homey feel to the boisterous city. It's walkways are made of a nice mix of cobblestone and pebbles, allowing for blues, greens, oranges and reds to stand out in the gray.

Tolsda Bottom Row
The lowest of the three rows is primarily for travelers who intend to only stop for a short amount of time. Inns and guild buildings line the bottom, providing quick access to temporary sleeping locations and places to meet with their guilds.

The guilds that are located on the bottom are: the knights guild - a guild composed of the kingdom's knights and used mostly as a meeting place for them, the guild of the church - a gathering for those such as the holy mother and other high-ranking church officials, and the merchant's guild - a guild for traveling merchants.

At the four entrances to the city - one at each point of a compass - there are city guard watch towers, keeping and eye over their city. These are the only things in the city aside from the roads that are made of stone, making sure to keep strong in case of intruders.

Tolsda Middle Row
The middle row of Tolsda is primarily houses for the people that live there. It's got a few small shops scattered here and there between the houses, things such as butcheries, bakeries, and so on and so forth; things to get them by.

Unlike the top and bottom floors, where there are many places for travelers to go and things for them to see, this area is the calmer area of the city. There aren't very many tourist shops there and it's one of the areas least effected by the constant party attitude of the city.

This city does not have so much of a caste system as the other cities do, so all ranks of people live in the same area. The houses don't give away the social standings of it's inhabitants so easily, the only one seeming to stick out being the earl's house and the king's cousin's home.

Tolsda Top Row
The last row of Tolsda is where most of the festivities happen. There are vendors scattered every which way and a large shopping gazebo in the middle for people to gather under. There are flowers of different colors and varieties placed all over the edges of the walkways, giving more color to the already bright city.

When a festival is being held the area is cleared, making room for dancers and songsters to perform. There is a stage that is set up for speakers as well as city guests to stand up on.
