Hall of Wisdom

The "City Hall" is the first location the player is allowed to enter. Being the first scene, it must be explored to level up and access the Room of Fate. Even after more locations are unlocked, it is still an important area for many of the City's Quests. When entered, the viewpoint is in the middle of a foyer, cluttered with ornate items and statues.

City Hall is designed to be simple to play; it has a vastly symmetrical appearance, and diverse lighting to aid the player's vision (one can clearly see the differences between the red stairways, stained glass top and center). Even at high Ranks, many of the objects remain in a clear sightline.
