The senate takes congress in the Glittering Halls, with representatives of all major settlements in attendance. Unlike the four districts, the Steel Citadel does not have a lower level, and is accessable only by Electric Tram.

The Four Quarters
The remainder of the city is divided into four quarters, as well as a lower level and an upper level, the upper levels are generally more wealthy and spacious, and the lower levels are for more commonfolk. Housing is present in all sections as each quarter is extremely expansive. Most of the people who live on the lower levels both live and work in the area and rarely venture beyond the city walls.
