Protected by powerful walls that resist the invasions of creatures of darkness, the city of Whitewall remains a testament to the strength of a long-forgotten age. Though most of the technology running Whitewall has ceased working ages ago, the city has managed to maintain its independence, and the city itself is the largest in the North, having not once been conquered in its entire history, in spite of constant assault from undead and fae. The constant warring has instilled a sense of discipline across the city, as well: Whether rich or poor, everyone in the city is taught how to fight from a young age, because if and when another siege comes, it will take the efforts of everyone combined to fend it off.
The city itself is split into three districts, identified by how close they are to the single entrance into the city: Foretown, Midtown, and Afton. In recent times however, what used to be the ancient sewer system has become a slum district, known as Underton.

Midtown is something of a mixture of various peoples: The most common people living in Midtown are farmers, laborers, and craftsmen, who keep Whitewall running primarily through what would be considered low-class work elsewhere. Nonetheless, one can say that Midtown is what keeps Whitewall running: In addition to the farms and craftsmen, this is also where the majority of the scholars and churches are located, and as such can truly be considered the "Center" of Whitewall.
This is where you live.

Civic: There have been vague reports of the Fae spotted outside the city. As a result, the city is actively requesting volunteers from all walks of live throughout the city. Getting someone you can control into a position of power will strengthen your influence throughout the city, as well as help keep the city safer.
District: The biggest concern for Whitewall during the Air Season is always road maintenance -- the only road into Whitewall is enchanted to prevent violence on it, but that does not in any way prevent it from being destroyed by more mundane tear from the elements. AS a result, one of the most important things to be done in Midtown is to put together a group to handle maintenance on it -- craftsmen to produce new bricks, priests to ensure that the enchantment still applies to the new bricks, and laborers to do the actual repairs. If someone were to stand out at the organization of such, they would undoubtedly be given more responsibility in Midtown.

Whitewall sounds like the boonies.

It could be worse, right? It sounds like they do pretty okay for themselves.
Oh, they've definitely built up a nice, respectable life. No complaints there.
Just.....ah, well.
Just.....ah, well.
Not at all, but it's not exactly that.
The ways I know best to gather influence won't really work here.

Farms and craftsmen, scholars and churches? Peaceful, but dull.
Well, there's no reason to think this place isn't bustling.
It's just old fashioned.

Ooooh. So that's boonies.
Cool.
...what kind of organization would be good for influencing a bunch of people?

Something sports related, of course.
Sports are usually a widespread thing.
In my world, everyone watched us play on television, and we played against the world.

Depends on the people you're trying to influence.
Here, I'd suggest some kind of church.

Guess we just have to think outside the box, then.
...We could be a messengers' guild or something.
