Groundswell
In Groundswell, the coastal wetlands frequently reveal previously buried portions of Oldfaire. Because of this, numerous zones are off-limits to the public for preservation purposes. It is also home to a nationally renowned outdoor marketplace taht hosts goods from around the world. The presence of historical landsmarks, such as a still functional Oldfairen well, makes this district a popular tourist destination.
Within Groundswell, there is an ever-present battle for control of the district. There are those who believe the entire area should be closed down and cleared out for archeological assessment, with no regard for the people who reside there. Locals point out that the marekt is in the same square where Oldfaire had its own, and believe that it is the birthright of modern Fairens to maintain the tradition uninterrupted.
Points of Interest
Calinus Market: Groundswell contains the largest marketplace in Newfaire, occupying both indoor and outdoor space. More function than tourist attraction, people come here to buy and sell everything from art to livestock. An ancient communal well sits at the end of the main thoroughfare, still producing fresh spring water.
The Counter Offer: A small pawnshop a few blocks from Calinus Market. The owner of the shop, Idina Reinfeld (she/her), is originally from the Haven Hills, and an expert in counterfeit paperwork. There is no identification, ticket, or signature she cannot recreate.
The Heritage Center: A gaudy tourist trap where people live out reenactments of life in Oldfaire. Though some elements of the park are kitschy, it's considered by anthropologists to be fairly accurate in its historical representations. The "Park after Dark" haunted tours are famous, and there are numerous tales of freal bodies rising from the ancient graves.
