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.

The largest of the districts, Underton is a district spanning the ancient sewage systems. Underton is without a doubt the slums of Whitewall: This is where policing is weakest, and where those who are too poor, unskliled, or irritating to maintain a job in the main portion of the city. While strictly underground, Underton is also the only area of the city where the ancient technology Whitewall was built upon still works, resulting in mechanics being just as common as criminals: Perhaps more notable however, are Underton's public baths: As the only place with working technology, Underton is also the only place with access to the Baths, making Underton into the social center of the city.
This is where you live.
What kind of organization do you operate?

[oh good, a city. this will definitely not end in civil war for me.]
So it would need to be an organisation that fits with Underton's resources.

And if they're constantly at war, anyone who can influence that is going to hold the most power.
The Baths ... even if it's the only place to reach them, I doubt those would hold much influence in the long run.
Then now that you're helping me, you can go where I tell you to go: in the corner. And be quiet.
[it's cute that you think you're more intense than me.]
The guild of mechanics, then.

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 life 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 Air Season has always been known for its storms, but they're worse than usual this year -- in fact, they've gotten so bad that one of the many sewage pipes in Underton has burst, coating a large portion of the town in a stench that everyone would rather avoid. Repairs or cleanup are going to be necessary, and undoubtedly whoever manages to clean up the situation will earn a great deal of respect throughout Underton.
