Arcane District
A more recent addition to the city, the Arcane District developed as a result of the increasing appeal for magic users to seclude themselves from non magic users. Though many people throughout the Dragon Court are attuned to mana, few have developed that link like the mages of the city. As a result, they often become somewhat recluse in nature, or otherwise quirky.
One only needs approach the area to know that the city has changed, as the buildings of the district reflect an odd and eerie yet stunning atmosphere. The architecture here is unique, and one cannot help but feel the slightest tingle of curiosity and wonder at the power within these streets. The outer streets boast some of the most illustrious and complete magic shops in the area, as many of the wizards and mages have put some of their lesser items on sale for popular use. Few outsiders dare wander deeper into these streets out of superstition, which indeed could easily be an excuse for a slight sense of fear and lack of understanding of those who dwell within.
Titan's School of Magical Research is located here nestled among the many towering spires and high colorful buildings that make this area stand out with such remarkable uniqueness.
Merchant District
The Merchant’s District borders the Market District. While the Market District hosts numerous shops where vendors sell their wares, the Merchant District is the administrative platform supporting Cartes’ many enterprises. The location reflects this, as many of the buildings are stately and pristine, primarily dominated by guild halls legal offices, and also warehouses.
Each building of the district is slightly different, representing the various artisans who have established their business headquarters here. For example, the woodcrafter’s guild is a stunning display of timber and gilded frames while the stonemason’s guild hall is a solid building of pure marble and granite, and so on.
On a daily basis, the area is just as hectic as the Merchant’s District. Carts drive in and out moving inventories, while offices and guild halls see people coming and going throughout the day. During holidays, cheers and celebrations can be heard from the city’s more prominent guilds.
