Wandering Monster
A small, independent park maintained by the district’s leshy population, the Wandering Monster houses a natural amphitheater on an open field of grass surrounded by natural stone and log seating. The park isn’t legally regulated as a venue for performances and serves as a loophole in the Ivy District’s harsh regulations prohibiting shows performed by anyone lacking membership in the Street Performers and Actors’ Guild. The Wandering Monster is popular with traveling performers, shows with bawdy content, and questionable puppet shows, as well as a few local troupes who make regular appearances on set nights of the week.
Thistleguard patrols regularly harassed performers using the stage in the past, hoping to force them into joining Alain Always’s guild. But recently, the Brotherhood of Abadar has kept one of their members stationed at the park to keep this from happening. The Brotherhood ensures no one is forced out unless they violate the law. Even so, the names of anyone performing at the Wandering Monster always get back to the nomarch, ensuring their inevitable blacklist from his guild and the district’s more formal stages. As such, many of the Wandering Monster’s performers have taken to wearing masks or other disguises and to performing under pseudonyms.
