Locations of Note

Oak Square

A square centered on an old, petrified oak which apparently gave the district its name. The street running from Highhall to Iron Gate runs through the square, with another street connecting to Hammercourt and Garrison Market making it a main thoroughfare for traffic heading above ground to the Iron Crags.

  • Hildrun's Workshop: Hildrun (human, f) is a citizen of Archenveil, but seemingly more interested in clockwork and smithing, than the arcanatech that her countrymen prefer. Situated on the crossroad between Iron Court and Hammercourt, she makes curious devices and items of fine craftmanship.
  • Adelgunde & Daughters: A construction firm headed by the indomitable and scarred Adelgunde. Utilizing techniques and equipment out of Archenveil to construct structures in the classical style of the rest of The City, her workmen are known to get the work done quickly and at a reasonable price.

Talna's Place

Located by the old city wall, bordering both The Bazaar and Whitesquare the small area called Artist's Corner have become a gathering place for artists and dilettantes. At the center of the area is a square called Talna's Place, with adjacent streets being filled with artist's workshops and studios.

  • The Artiste: A sprawling coffee house (which also sells alcohol) frequented by artists both of the local area and the rest of The City. Though the front room seems relatively small, with only a half-dozen table, a sprawling maze of rooms and corridors behind has room for many more. Apparently some products are only sold in specific rooms, and some rooms are invitation only.
  • Keati Starman's Workshop: Formerly of the Magma Rift, this young dwarf has sought a surface that is more receptive of her avantgarde sculpturing. Her work is much sought by those of the upper class who are into new art.
  • The Grapple and Bow: A store selling a smattering of artist's supplies, but also as many or more adventuring supplies. What is sold here is generally pricy, but good quality, catering to those young, wellborn individuals that want to do a bit of adventuring beyond the walls in comfort and style. There is even a small café nook; generally inhabited by spirited youth that like the adventuring atmosphere, but haven't actually endured any real hardship.

Tunnel of Dreams

Slightly north of Talna's Place, a tunnel has been magically created through the city wall, creating a direct way between Graygardens and The Bazaar. Though only passable by foot traffic it is rarely empty, and at certain times crowding prevents easy passage.
