The Town is the part of Alaria where Buildings can be placed. Each Town is part of a District which must be unlocked by singing at a Harmony Stone once 100% Harmony has been achieved at the previous District (except for the first, which is unlocked as part of the main Quest.
Buildings, Decorations, Walls and Paths can only be placed within the boundaries of a Town, and the Apprentice must be within the Town boundaries to build, and there are limits to the numbers of each that can be placed within a single town. The Apprentice cannot build in a different Town from the one they are currently in. When first unlocked, each Town has several Blockers that must be removed in order to both increase the Town's Harmony as well as free up more space to build.
The center of each Town is the Town Square, which is usually near the Town's Dock and an Everkin Door. The Town Square is where the Town's Harmony Stone can be found, which is both a visual meter of Town Harmony, as well as a tracker for various goals to help increase the Town's Harmony. The Town Square also serves as the fast-travel marker on the overhead map for each Town. Once 100% Harmony has been achieved, the Apprentice can sing at the Harmony Stone, completing that area and unlocking the next.
There are seven Towns, corresponding to the seven Districts:
