Lunas is the collective name for a province which really should be considered two segregated zones of the city: High Lunas and Low Lunas.
High Lunas
High Lunas was only accessible by the wealthy and the powerful. In the 650s PR, a day's pass into High Lunas cost 25 GP, which was more than most peasants made in a year. Over time, the price fluctuated, meaning that entrance into High Lunas would be anywhere between 10 GP and 50 GP. Those who could not pay the price and receive a temporary pin would be banned from entering.
In the 740s PR High Lunas branded itself as the "Lunas Resort" and for a period of time upcharged it's entrance fees to 100 GP per person. As part of the "Resort" branding, High Lunas also offered a 1000 GP annual pass that gave unlimited entry into the city for a year.

Low Lunas
Low Lunas existed completely ignored by High Lunas for many years following the segregation. The first steps towards unification took place in 693 PR when a noble from High Lunas went undercover as "The Beggar Prince" and assisted a passionate leader in Low Lunas who called himself "The Red Sash". Together the two of them started a violent uprising, that led to Lord Luiras to allocate budget towards fighting the blight in Low Lunas.
