All is Fair is set in the city of Haven, something of a retirement community for tired fairy tales. This is a place where they can settle in and live a more mundane life, interact with other characters, or carry on however they like.
Once a tale has decided to move they are granted a choice of residence and offered a job within their skill set. Most things in the city are free, but a tale must help contribute in some way in order to support this system.
This will be added to as we move forward.
Basic geography:
The city is a fair size, surrounded on all sides by a self-contained body of water known as the Sleepless Sea. Passage can be bought on ships that will sail from the outside world over the Sleepless Sea to Haven. These journeys take around two to three days depending on how fair the weather is.
The city is ringed by a beach and a fence, though there are rather large gaps in the fence through which people/creatures can pass.
The Mayor's office is situated across from the main gates into Haven. The Gates are located in the north.
In the west section of the city is a thick, self contained forest in which the wilder tales often choose to live. In the east there is a large park with open grass and well kept gardens.
At the south end of the park is a rather large farm that grows all of the produce and most of the livestock for the city. Most produce that comes out of the farm is abnormally large due to the magic used to grow it bigger and faster. The livestock raised here is dumb (not the sort of magical, communicating animals featured in fairy tales).
In the center of the city is a massive castle in which many royal fairy tales chose to live.
Living arrangements:
Tales may choose to live in any location they desire within Haven. There are cottages in the woods and on the farm, apartments in the many city buildings, and lodgings in the castle (Christopher Robin often jokes about tower rooms for princesses). Tales can also chose to camp on the beach outside the city gates or rough it in the woods/on the farm/on the streets.
