Here it is, the bundle of threads explaining how things work around here. It is important that you have a look through the information provided.

This elaborate many-storied public library was built out of the wishes of Arcadia's founders. It is loaded with books, scrolls, and papyrus from all the civilizations the humans have managed to collect them from as well as arcane lore written by the human survivors here. Anyone who damages the library while practicing magic will have to pay a fine and will be banned from the library for a specified period of time.

Humans reside here in their homes ranging from the middle of the city, where the wealthiest reside, to the outskirts, where the poorer residents may live in their humble homes. The wealthiest areas are grouped according to houses, but many poorer people live outside of them, farthest away from the city square and merchant district.

Folk come from all over to trade, sell wares, and buy lunch. The city square contains news and requests on bulletin boards. A statue of the five archmasters from ages past decorates the utmost center of the square and includes a man with spiky hair, a woman, a mouse-like young man, a warrior, and a man with long hair and waving robes. The individual identities of each figure and which archmaster each one is have been lost to time and are an object of great debate.

Medical staff treat physical, mental, and magical illness here. The inpatients rest on the second floor, the office and outpatients are on the ground floor, and medical documentation is kept private deep in the basement.

The most abjectly impoverished humans--and some things that may not be quite human--survive here under difficult conditions. The lighting is dark, and, except for the pimps, no one is keeping tract of who goes missing... Rumor has it that illicit activity, including the horrid act of necromancy, may occur in its depths...

Three-story walls may sound excessive for measly humans, but the guards here must defend the citizens against abominations.

The dead meet their final resting place. Since the area has been recently vandalized, the number of guards on night watch has been increased.

This icy river melts down from the mountains, pulls into the Shining Lake just outside the city, and then continues over the edge of the continent as the Endless Falls. A dam may be closed to contain the water in time of a drought, and a gate exists at the edge of the waterfall to prevent any fools from being washed over the edge into fae land below.

A rural village near the Endless Falls. It contains the docking plateau for travel to and from Faerie, and it is home to farmers, fishermen, and adventurers. Although naive abominations may target the villagers, the villagers quickly teach them why they have survived on the frontier so long, and the abominations typical end up as piecemeal goods traded to Arcadia City.

This inscrutable forest may appear to be inviting for a long walk and picnic until a lycan rips one's head off. Lycans are believed to reside here, deep inside the heart of the forest, but no human has returned to confirm these suspicions.

These cliffs are named after a hero of a war long-forgotten. Although the vantage point here is looks over all of Avalon and is superior to the Arcane Council's, the vampires present are so welcoming of guests that no human investigators have ever returned.
