The White City is a neighborhood in Omrazir that sits overlooking the east district of Dawn from its site atop the Shining Hill, one of the most prominent landmarks in the city. It is the oldest neighborhood in Omrazir, and was once the nucleus of the ancient city of Elam Rassi. Originally named for the splendor of the marble-faced and pristinely limewashed buildings occupying much of the district, this now decrepit neighborhood has kept its name even though the poppies cultivated in window boxes and waste spaces are one of the few white things left here. Drug use and production are rife in the White City, and the most desperate and downtrodden of all the city's inhabitants tend either to start out or wind up here. Violence and corruption are endemic. The racial makeup of the neighborhood spans the whole of the Sirdabi Caliphate and a fair portion of north Idiri and even Ruvera as well, the primary unifying character of the inhabitants being despair, tempered by a certain desperate self-destructive bravery. And yet many people still manage to make some kind of life for themselves and their families here, even in the midst of squalor and sorrow.
