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.
Afton would be considered to be the "upper-class" area in Whitewall, though its true nature is something a bit different: While the majority of those who live in Afton are wealthy business owners and those with strong political clout, this is also where the majority of the military and police force live: Afton is where Whitewall's decisions are made. Afton can be said to be the "brain" of the city, and is where the people of Whitewall will make their last stand in the event of an invasion.
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 is the time that most laws within the city are passed; Within a few months people will be trapped inside the city for two seasons, and it won't be long before it becomes important for people to set boundaries to minimize people getting on each other's nerves. "Offences against Civility" as they're called, are one of the little things that go into preventing Whitewall from turning on themselves. Either way, this is an opportunity for you to expand your influence by helping to define what counts as "getting on each other's nerves".
We can encourage what students are loyal to us personally to volunteer, especially those who are good at being soldiers. Something to do in the long run.
Perhaps interference with training would be getting on others nerves? Though perhaps it would be best just to put all our waits into Civic.
Civic: The recent repeal of the Offenses to Civility laws take center-stage this time, especially as the winter seasons are the most common time when it's evoked. Some people argue that the repeal was a good thing, but the most obvious thing noticed is an increase in aggression in general, as the push for free speech is also being used to encourage trouble-makers to start fights. the search for some sort of solution to this problem is something that has to be approached by the city as a whole.
District: The Water Season always marks a high increase in crime, as tensions run high throughout the city. The whole "being trapped inside during a long winter" plays a huge part in that of course, but more importantly, it means that there's a need for someone to help out the overtaxed police force. And of course, it's a great opportunity to make connections and earn favors on both sides of the law.
District: 0 Points. Will let it play out how it will.
Civic: 1 District, 2 Organizational.
We will encourage our most loyal and top students to go volunteer. Those who will be inclined to listen to us, as 'advisers,' of course, but preferably talented enough to make it high up in the ranks.
Your top students do indeed managed to make it high up in the ranks: You now have a connection to one of the more powerful individuals in the city. Good work!
We will offer up our prestigious training academy to take in the most troublesome of trouble makers to be enrolled in our school where their aggression will be directed into something more protective.
District Problem: 1 District Point, 2 Organizational
Our academy's curriculum shall be changed to also require extensive volunteer time aiding the police force.
The legal system is at a standstill, as power blocks form over what the "correct" solution to the situation is. The opinions have been fused into roughly four power blocks: The first argues for stricter punishments, though what precisely those punishments are seem to have been lost in legalese. The second is an active attempt from the churches and branches of the military to encourage togetherness within the city once more. The third group argues for non-violent solutions to the problem: Banning them from shops and preventing them from causing too much trouble without hurting them. The fourth and final power block is pressing for a re-examination of the entire legal system, pushing for various changes that will make the laws slightly more transparent.
Which one a person supports in this time may mean the difference between taking power and losing a great deal of it.
We will continue to offer up our school to provide a safe and productive place for troublemakers to spend their energy and allow them to become valued members in society. Albeit ones with loyalty to their fine instructors.

Considering how they've already made a mess of their laws, it sounds like four won't do much.
