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.

Foretown is the district closest to Whitewall's single entrance, and the only one that most tourists and merchants visit. As such, this is where the majority of craftsmen, shopkeepers, and merchants make their home, as well as the stables for those who have travelled a long way to reach here. Foretown can be considered to be the "face of the city": What happens here affects how other people see Whitewall, throughout Creation.

...I would think it obvious. We run a law firm.
A law firm sounds good. Everyone with influence needs lawyers.
I'm Puma, by the way.

Let us strive to become the most influential lawyers of all time.

That is correct. A prosecutor specializing in homicides.
That's a good job.

I am not entirely sure my brand of courtroom fighting will be entirely accurate to this universe.

Well, it is certainly....

Our manner of arguing in court is rather odd compared to other universes I have seen, as well.
There is a lack of a jury, and a focus solely upon finding the truth through use of our evidence.
What do you do for circumstantial evidence?
Decisive evidence is key. Circumstance alone is not enough--though combined with testimony it can lead to a strong case.
So there is some subjective judgement. Just a judge and lawyers then?
Audience. Huh, I guess that's what the crowd would be.
Correct. It is as much a spectacle as it is a legal case insofar as they are involved. To that end, I am something of a performer as well as legal counsel.
