# Town

A **town** is a general term used for [zones](/earth-oblivion/game-play-features/zone.md) which are composed of buildings and friendly NPCs. Towns often have basic services that are essential to an Adventurer, like buying and selling [items](/earth-oblivion/game-play-features/overview/item.md), [warehouse](/earth-oblivion/game-play-features/overview/warehouse.md) management, learning Skills and enhancing equipment.

Much larger settlements like OblivionVerse can also be called a town, although it is more appropriate to call it a **city**.
