Districts
Corus has several different districts, as revealed in detail throughout Terrier. The Provost's Guard is organised in correspondence to the districts and each district has its own guard station, except Temple and Palace Districts, which have their own guards. The districts of the Court of the Rogue are mostly the same with the exception that the Rogue also has an additional district, Waterfront District. The names of the districts are as follows:
It is not known whether the names or borders of these districts changed over the two hundred year gap between Terrier and Song of the Lioness.
