* UrbanSegregation: Alucato, the capital city of the Ellmeyer Empire, is laid out like a fan with the royal palace at its focus point and is divided into five layers, listed below in the order of how close they are to the palace.
** The first layer is a residential district where nobility lives.
** The second layer holds government offices, banks, and other public facilities, include the Holy Knights' training ground and the Academy.
** The third layer is the commercial district. The Varie Newspaper has its offices here.
** The fourth layer is a residential district for the common people. It has been mentioned to include schools for commoners.
** The fifth layer holds everything else, including the slums where the very poorest live, and the red-light district. Public safety is bad, and requests for government services and repairs from this area tend to receive the slowest response. Residents are generally living paycheck to paycheck, and have trouble finding steady jobs.
** Finally, behind the royal palace is a forest, which fits together with the fan-shaped capital to create a circle. While there are walls and gates between the layers themselves, there is no real barrier between the ends of each layer and the forest, only some signs warning of the border and sometimes a wall or palisade that nominally bars the way. This means it is possible to enter and exit the forest from the end of each layer.
*** When Claude abdicated his right to the throne at age ten and pledged a mutual nonaggression treaty between demons and humans, in exchange he received ownership of the entire forest and the abandoned castle within it. This has since become demon territory, as demon refugees flocked towards their king and safety from humans.
