Map of the Old City
Feb. 22nd, 2011 08:53 pm( Under the Cut )
So the old city is divided by the rivers into three "Quarters" which I've tentatively named the North Quarter the Central Quarte and the Cultural Quarter. There aren't many bridges. There is a central curving "high street" which is where most of the old buildings can be found and this has a bridge over each river (Main Bridge - should think of a better name) and Roman Bridge. There is a second bridge, St. Peter's Bridge between the north and central quarters. In the central area is an old 19th century slum area (the old warren) and that's where Alex's tenement is. I think we are going to have to set the city in this world. I suggest an imaginary tiny European principality between France and Italy, possibly with a large English-speaking community, possibly with English as the official language.
NB. Subsequently agreed on an island in the Adriatic sea between Italy and the Balkans. The historical remnant of ancient `Illyria'. The island is English and Italian speaking with a large British ex-pat population for reasons not yet well specified.
