In Wicked, ever since the Wizard has taken over, the city is a much darker and dangerous place compared to the city described in the original 1900's book or the one in the 1939 MGM movie musical adaption. It does have many prosperous and wealthy citizens who wear lavish clothing and costumes. And the city itself is also filled with splendid gardens with marble water fountains, beautiful streets set with glistening emeralds, and elaborate and luxurious houses, shops, markets and palaces of polished green marble. However, there are less attractive streets filled with crime and poverty, consisting of unpleasant people, such as; prostitutes, drug-dealers/addicts, thieves, thugs and even sections of Assassins who are involved in top secret conspiracies. There is even an underground prison called Southstairs.
