   * City Council - The Wormbly royal line rules with the help and advice of a city council made of people elected across the spectrum of race, creed, and station. This council is a newer body, only coming into being in the past century or so as a concession to get in the continent-wide war against [[Corvax]]. It gives a small percentage of seats to the lines of Blackangel nobility.  Unfortunately, the king doesn't always listen to their advice and the council has the power of the purse since they collect taxes throughout the city state leading to an occasional political stand-off. It should be noted that both the king and the council have soldiers at their disposal should their disagreements ever turn violent.    * City Council - The Wormbly royal line rules with the help and advice of a city council made of people elected across the spectrum of race, creed, and station.

   * Temple District - This is where all the religious parts of the city are held, including the statue of the black angel that  gives the city its name. Temples here include a large and hearty church of Ioun the goddess of magic and knowledge, a small yet tasteful shrine to Aurora and a gaudy tabernacle in praise of Erathis the deity of civilization.    * Temple District - This is where all the religious parts of the city are held, including the statue of the black angel that  gives the city its name.

-  * College Hill - This neighborhood holds all the schools and libraries of learning such as the Fool’s Echo Bardic College and the Arcane Academy near the crest of this hill. Farther down the incline, one might find amusements and clubs of all kinds. There are theatres, dance halls, brothels, gladiator pits, and even a few low stakes games of chance can be found in this area. Although it is clean and seems safe from the side of patrons, it harbors a darker lifestyle behind the scenes.+  * College Hill - This neighborhood holds all the schools and libraries of learning such as the [[Arcane Academy]] and the [[Library of Manthor]] at the crest of this hill.

   * Hollywynd Hills - This area affords a beautiful view of the rest of the city including the docks. It is an exclusive area with its own guards meant for only the wealthiest of the people of Blackangel. While the newly rich merchant class that has made Blackangel the trading hub that it is, populates the lower elevations, the truly elite are found closer to the top. One might also find the finest of clothiers in this area including cobblers, clothworkers, and tailors guilds.   * Hollywynd Hills - This area affords a beautiful view of the rest of the city including the docks.
