A hard working squad of Princes, Maids, and more are present all around & beyond the clock, so that even the total dominion of a Lord bent on the destruction of our home can be denied. Our Sylphs and Mages also provide help to any who need it within our boarders, in any way you may require it. And if there is anyone who may believe that something is in error with our policy, we have a dedicated team of mayors available to listen to your concerns,
and even change that policy if you prove to have a better idea for all. We have gatekeepers standing by at all times, so a simple call is all it takes to come on in!
*there are a number of other results that are various sub-sections of the main location, such as information on the Light District, and on what limited actions they are taking to help people and places outside the city, but they seem mostly self contained. there is one particularly different result though*
