-  The old working port. Its fortunes rise and fall with the shipping industry and at the moment they are falling quietly. Victorian terraces back onto the docks, and inland the streets run on a grid laid down by the merchants' guilds in the 1800s. A third of the adult population still works the port in some form. The rest work in the adjacent warehouses, the rail depot, the fish market, or the hospitals and schools that kept pace with the population. Houses here are cheap and stay cheap. Bands come out of Kellisport every few years that the Avenford press suddenly cares about.

-  A smaller inland city built around the university, which employs more than a sixth of the working population directly and another sixth indirectly. Stone quadrangles, a cathedral the Quiet Path shares with the Covenant on alternating afternoons, student housing converted from former monasteries, and a ring of newer research buildings on the southern edge. A town that empties for six weeks every summer and fills again in the autumn rain. Two decent bookshops, three good ones, and a river that runs the length of the old quarter.

-  The region's most storied literary publisher. Founded in 1889 and independent through every consolidation wave since. Operates out of three floors of a narrow Avenford townhouse with a street-level reading room open to anyone. Publishes around thirty titles a year — literary fiction, essays, and a small philosophy list kept alive more from principle than profit. Its imprint is recognised across the world and turning down an offer from Halfire is a kind of minor career milestone in itself. Rights to copy-edit are fought over. The editor-in-chief writes a column for the Sunday papers that no one important admits to reading.

-  A medium-large university, old by Mirror Coast standards — its oldest college dates to the twelfth century, and its newest to the 1960s. Strong humanities, a well-regarded philosophy department, a literature faculty that runs a steady pipeline into the Avenford press row, and a science faculty that has modernised quietly over the last forty years. The student population sits around eighteen thousand, a third of them from outside the region. Tuition is public and steeply subsidised; competition for entry is sharp. Professors tend to live in the old city and walk to work.
