The Enlightened District (Tenebris)

The enlightened district is the final tier of Tenebris' inner workings before the Citadel of Blades around which the city was formed. It is the fourth district from the perimeter wall, located between the third internal barrier and the massive walls of Tenebris itself.

Form & Function
The Enlightened District houses the Statue of Dominance: A massive edifice depicting Tenebris' Lord suited in full armour and impaling a kneeling opponent with a jagged longspear. Ice creeps across the ground at his feet whilst flames engulf the hand not gripping the spear, his wings arched wide in a menacing and overbearing stance as though to overshadow the man being slain. The inscription at the base reads "Power leads to Victory."

The Enlightened District, also referred to as the 'inner circle' of Tenebris, houses the highly valued organizations of the Port-City. Complete with its own private gardens, the homes of the nobility are shielded within this district. As well as the Tenebrian Archives, the College of Silent Wraiths, Shrines to the deities of Magic and War, and the head garrison of the Black Vanguard.

Though considered a single district, the grounds are visibly split even within themselves, the outer layer containing the houses of the Gods and the Archives nearer to the gates. Past the main entrance and beyond exist the college and noble residency. Only those with high standing or explicit validation are permitted to enter this portion of the district, with many cases requiring the personal invitation of the Praetor of Tenebris or the patron head of the college of silent wraiths.
