The Duke's home, the Verdant Palace, is located here, closest to the Queen's tower at the center of Lucandria.  The homes around the Palace are where the noble elite live, those with the most magical affinity and influence.  They possess all the most modern conveniences, from electricity and lights to running water and refrigeration.  As one moves further out towards the edges of the city, the homes become a bit simpler; still possessing all the basics for civilized living, but perhaps without all of the same extraneous luxuries.  Mika with less magical affinity live in these areas, making up the commoner level of the Terran Mika.  Terranovia is home to the royal gardens, which are beautiful gardens open to all city residents displaying the most lovely and picturesque floral displays the duchy has to offer.  This is also the location of the Terran Academy, an educational institution specializing in forestry, botany, and earth magic.  The university's home is here, however, much of their hands-on research and study is done at the Sylvan Sanctuary further south.  Terranovia Museum of Natural History nearby documents both the flora and fauna of the duchy, as well as the history of Terra and Lucandria as a whole.
