Citadel of Roa

The Citadel of Roa (城塞都市ロア Jōsai Toshi Roa) is a fortress city in the Fittoa Region of the Asura Kingdom lying on the Central Continent. Being the center of trade and commerce and the administrative headquarters of the Fittoa Region, Roa is the largest settlement in the Region. .

History
Roa is an ancient city with noble history. Four hundred years ago, it stood as the last bastion of defense during the war against the Demon race. Owing to that, there stands a picturesque castle in the middle of the city.

Though, despite its mighty origin story, the nobles of the imperial capital currently saw Roa as nothing more than a crude backwater full of adventurers.

Description
Roa is a fortified city built inside walls. Sturdy ramparts, 7 to 8 meters in height are wrapped around the city. The walkways of the ramparts are roofed and along it, towers with conical spires are built with airy overviewing windows and balconies.

The city itself is not a perfect circle; it bent with the terrain making the dimensions hard to estimate. The city has a gigantic gate for the influx of merchants and townspeople. At the entrance one would be greeted with stables and inns and the waiting area for the stagecoaches. Along the main road, lines of merchant stalls are erected. Shops for different kind of customers are grouped by street junctions while residence buildings are situated in the alleyways much deeper into the city. The streets are paved and buildings are established in a grid structure with vendor shops lined tidily on the roadsides.

The city was built in such a way that the deeper you went into the city the bigger the houses became and the more luxurious the goods shops offered. The closer you lived to the center, the richer you were. All the shops near the noble district are elegant and peddled expensive wares. A castle is nestled right in the middle of the city which is used as the residence of the Region's lord.
