The Ringed City

The Ringed City is the capital of the Holy Doughnut Empire.

Background
Formerly the Doughnut Empire's center of faith, The Ringed City is now the seat of government of the Holy Doughnut Empire. The city is known for its unique architecture, the Basilica of the Dozen Saints being an example.

A theocracy, the Ringed City is ruled by the Council of the Apostolic Dozen, overseen by the Papal Emperor of the Glazed Throne. While it allows foreigners to wander its streets, to become a citizen is to be a follower of the state's religion, the Church of the Blessed Circle. Rumors abound of a supposed cult in the underbelly of the city, though the council is quick to deny their existence.

Layout
The city is laid out into three concentric rings which compromise the three districts of the city: the Business District, the Residential District, and the High District. Each district is separated by walls, the highest being the outer ones.

Business
The outermost ring is the Business District. Inns for travelers, blacksmiths, libraries, and other shops can be found here. Government offices for services like healthcare and safety are also found here.

Residential
The Residential District is the middle ring, as well as its most guarded one. The District is divided into twelve subdistricts, each with its own representative in the Council. Each subdistrict also has their own chapel where they can go for worship.

Basillica
The Noble District is the centermost circle, and it is where the Basilica of the Dozen Saints is located. This is also the location of the local barracks, where soldiers and guardsmen are trained before being set out in the outposts, the University of Saint Honeybutter, as well as the embassies of the different nations in the continent.
