Editing Patchlands (section)

= Terminology =
* '''Patch''': A large, physical area that has been portaled in to the Patchlands. Vary from very small to absolutely huge. They only appear far outside the City limits.
* '''Stitch''': The borders of a Patch. The distances between Patches are so big, that there's barely ever any need to go past the Stitches.
* '''Portal''': Usually refers to interdimensional portals that pulled the denizens from their home worlds, though is can be used as a general reference to any portal.
* '''Gateway''': An intradimensional portal within the Patchlands.
* '''The City:''' Quiltworks City. Quiltworks is more or less official name for it, but to people living in Quiltworks, it's the only city that matters.
* '''District''': A loosely defined area of like-minded individuals, usually defended by volunteers or some sort of a militia.
* '''The Champion's Tower''': An absurdly large tower in the exact middle point of the city, originally built when the city was new. It has been expanded upon by master craftsmen from nearly every race, and is large enough to house Dragons comfortably. Through the ages it has been passed from the strongest in all the City, the current one known only as The Dark Champion. The treasures within is said to be greater than the pooled amounts of the entirety of the Dragon Districts, having housed many Champions throughout the millennia.
* '''The Dark Champion''': An unknown being of great and terrible power which resides in the Tower. Hundreds of years ago, it came seemingly out of nowhere and waged battle against the former champion Urzazi the Infinite Sage. Their battle lasted for nine days and leveled ten times as many districts, killing countless denizens in collateral damage. In the past, denizens have attempted to challenge The Dark Champion, but they never return.
* '''Denizen''': As there is no official process to living anywhere except the independent sub-continents, there are no true citizens of the City or much of anywhere else and denizen is the commonly accepted term for anyone within the Patchlands.
* '''The Great University''': Unofficially referred to as The University, as there is nothing else that compares when it comes to higher learning. It is a giant district near the middle of the city where most higher education takes place.
* '''Needlers''': See 'Needleworkers'
* '''Needleworkers''': Generally a subgroup of Modiste (though some are not affiliated), Needleworkers are arcane or divine practitioners who have grown skilled at creating their own portals. They are afforded much respect and wealth for their ability to ease travel and get to new, unexplored locales.
