Peace before chaos (12)
Distinguishable from two other districts in Anspia, the upper district owned a robust entrance gate, restricting access to unrelated parties.
The steel gate was decorated by intricate linings made from pure gold and veteran guards manned it day and night as if they were stone golems. This emphasis on security was prompted by the fact that the district was the home of affluent individuals from various backgrounds. Although their numbers were limited, they commanded more monetary power and influence than the combined wealth and voices of the remaining residents. Hence, the safety of their life was prioritized.
There was a saying that all life was precious and equal. But, that was not happening. At least, not in this city.
At the moment, a four-wheeled vehicle enclosed with windows and a roof, and pulled by two horses, had received permission from the guards in charge to enter the elite district after passing their thorough inspection.
