Places You Are Unlikely To Visit
So you are a free citizen. That's great. Guesswhat? It is not good enough for visiting most of the city. For examplelet's first look at the Citadel. This fortress has its own walls and towers. Dominates the city as the tallest structure and might as well be on Mars because that is likely as close as you will ever get to it. Rumor has it that the Chamberlain is Crown Prince Otto of Hess, the Renegade Heir to the Issligi Imperial Throne. Also rumored is the existence of the Mages guild inside the Citadel under the watchful eye of Atlan Miskovar. In general if you do go to the gray buildings of the Citadel you are entering dreaded territory.

Another place you are unlikely to visit is the Nobles district. It has no access to the other districts for a reason. The nobles live in a fortress like area. To the South is an entrance to the Botanical district.To the North is a gated entrance to Miskovar's Citadel. And in the center of the eastern wall is a controlled entrance to the Religious district. The Gated area is the former home of the Black Rangers that was nick named Little Ellis Island by former players. In general rumor has it that there are fantastic townhouses and estates each with private house guards. In addition there is common knowledge that the military barracks of the Army of Helsport was formerly housed here. Otherwise, the Nobility district is also an area that will likely go unknown to the mundane citizen in Helsport.

Yet another place you are unlikely to visit is the Botanical district. The area is a large forest with semi wild animals.Everyone knows that the city's primary water supply is located here asa lake in the middle of district. Rumor has it that there are noble vacation houses or hunting lodges located here as well. In general the district is a large green unknown area. It has two entrances. On the East is a gated entrance to the Traders district, and to the North is a double towered entrance to the Nobles district. A few players have managed to get to this area, and most have found it dangerous both because of beasts and human beings.

Religious district.
As you enter the area from the Slum districtyou will see the only non fortified section of the city. The outer wall connecting the Slums and Religious acted as a dam for the magma that covered the Religious area during its destruction. The magma eventually forcedthe wall to topple over into the Slum district, so in order to enter theReligious district you must scramble up first the rubble of the collapsed wall and then onto themagma covered city district. What you will see whenyou are in this district? Basically a wide area bounded by the city outerwall and the Arena. Otherwiseyou will see very little. The temples were collectively buried in place and as such, are possible places of treasure.Unfortunately there is a fairly strong and constant patrolling of the areaby the Templars of Hel. As a brief aside, Miskovar tolerated other religionsin Helsport, but allowed only onereligion, i.e., the worship of Hel. The othertemples were permitted, but were often small and understaffed. The three largest temples in the district weredevoted to Hel and her three daughters,Sleet, Snow, and Stumbling Block.There also was a very large statue ofHel formerly astride the temple of Helthat was visible as a light house ten nautical miles from shore. Think ColossusofRhodes.

What is of interest here now to the player? Simple treasure, it has to be here, the problem is first getting through the magma and then avoiding the Templers with the loot. Another area you probably want to avoid is the Arena. This area is now a large bowl of obsidian thatis currently mined for trade. Some of the workers here are citizens whotravel daily from the Slum district into the Arena, while others are survivingslaves and convicts. Work here is brutal, and profitable. It is administered by the High Sage from the Traders district. Rumor has it that the Arenais never quite. At night, the sounds of work can still be heard, though no person works there afterdark. If you do work here be forewarned taking obsidian for yourself is universally viewed as a great offense and shouldyou be found to have any, you will be lucky to get out of the city beforethe watch arrests you.
