Unscathed Alley
Perhaps diminutively named, this portion of Oldfaire is actually about six blocks in size and is perfectly preserved underground. No on eknows why it remains entirely undamaged even to this day. It is a site of incredible interest to both Candela Obscura and the archeologists of The Fairelands because entering its bounds feels like stepping into history. The fabrics hung in doorways are as fresh as the day they were spun, the stone does not exhibit age, and it seems as if a living person might come around the corner at any moment. At various times, mysterious sounds are heard coming from this site, and no one has ever been able to bring artifacts from the Unscathed Alley up to the surface without them crumbling to dust.
Features
Twelve Fountain Square: At the far end of this portion of Oldfaire is a square, likely used as a marketplace. In the center stands a fountain carved with 12 severe human faces, each with water spouting from their open mouths. This fountain is fed by gravity and still runs clean through the city has fallen beneath the earth. The plaza has an odd similarity to the Calinus Market in Groundswell.
Foul House: A butcher shop within the Unscathed Alley that emits the iron scent of freshly prepared meats. When archeologists attempt to remove food from the bounds of the alley, it immediately putrefies into rot.
Apothecarium: A haunting and eerie sight, with shattered glass bottles and dried herbs scattered across the floor. The shelves are empty and the walls are crumbling, but the strong scent of herbs still lingers in the air, hinting at the long-lost secrets of the apothecary's trade. No one knows why this shop, unlike those surrounding it, shows signs of ruin, but its destruction may have occured before the fall of Oldfaire. Asphodel flowers are carved into the wall, but no one knows why.
