The Central Ring of the City is mostly comprimised more of the Merchant Districts, as well as several housing areas meant directly for the merchants to live. There are, however, three locations that are walled off from the rest the central ring. These are called the Watchman's circles, the barracks and training grounds for the guards that protect the entire city. Each one of these has a large tower set against the walls of the central ring (facing out to the outer ring), a place where the guards can look out to the city.
