Adventurer City

Adventurer Cities are settlements where players can start once they are logged into any Elder Tale server.

In the Yamato server, its five Adventurer Cities are collectively known as the "Five Big Cities" (五大都市 go daitoshi).

Purpose
These cities serve as the bases of operations for guilds, parties, and solo players, and as a safe zone from the monsters (and PKers) outside.

All Adventurer Cities initially had Royal Guards that enforced the no-PK policy and protected them from external threats. The Guards' suits, along with the magical barriers that protect the cities from monsters, are all connected to a large magic circle that is found underneath the city. So far, Akiba is the only known city that disabled their magic circle, be it for any reason.

In Mamare's notes, the Adventurer City of Johannesburg has fragmented safe zones; as a result, there are sections of the city where PKing is allowed. Whether this remains true in official material remains unknown.

Common Locations
These areas or buildings are found in all player cities.


 * Guild Center
 * Most guilds, particularly small-to-medium sized guilds, pay rent to have a guild hall in this building. Most large guilds buy their own zones rather than have a space in the Guild Center.
 * Aside from rented zones, there are several meeting spaces that can be used to hold events or gatherings. The Guild Center also holds the city's Bank, where players can store items and gold for safekeeping.


 * Cathedral
 * Inside each Adventurer City is a Cathedral, which players are automatically bound to upon entering the city. If a player dies, they will revive in that Cathedral.


 * Market
 * All Adventurer Cities have a Market, where Adventurers can sell their items to Earthlings.

Trivia

 * Although Mamare Touno devised several Adventurer Cities in other servers, some fans in the West decided to create their own fan map, adding more Adventurer Cities. After being presented to Touno through twitter, it was given a commendation by the author himself. Some Adventurer Cities listed, therefore, may not have any information available, since they were created by fans rather than by the author.
