Introduction
Note: While the title of this event is simply Theorizing Thursday, this prompt is more conspiracy theory-style.
Theorizing Thursday and Photo Friday will alternate regularly.
We all know Arcadia is a major city, being the capital city and a major economic center. It has a bustling urban area with immaculate public spaces and strong transport links to the outside world. Travelers from all around the Meridian continent and beyond arrive by air, land, and sea to explore and conduct business here. But why are there areas of this grand city that we cannot visit? Why do invisible magical barriers prevent even the most elite of mages from accessing these districts? IS QUEEN FIONA RHINE PLOTTING OR HIDING SOMETHING?
