Smiths' Lanterns

East of the Royal Road, south of the People's Crossing and west of the Hrazdan River, tanners, potters, arificers and smithies line the river with workshops extending to the Royal Road. Smiths' Lanterns refers to both the entire ward, but also the specific strip of river bank where much of the wares of Fayah are prodcued.

Districts

Artificers' Market
Lining the Royal Road from South Bridge to Peoples' Crossing, the Artificers Market is home to tinkers plying the finest wares outside of the great Buqbah herself. Some jewlers may be tucked in, though of a more working-class sort than found in the Tranquil Heights.

Workshops
The bulk of the real estate along southwestern bank of the Hrazdan River is clogged with smithies, tanners, potters and weavers who use the river as both power source and disposal ground.

Points of interest

The Royal Road: The major thoroughare cutting through Fayah. The Royal Road extends from the Gates, dividing the Trade District from the Smiths' Lanterns before crossing the Trade Acqueduct, cutting accross the Tranquil heights before diving into the Scholars' Roads and ending at the College of Fayah.

South Crossing: named for both the small road extending towards the Hrazdan River and the southern most bridge crossing it.

People's Crossing: Extends from east from the Royal Road at the Clocktower before crossing the Hrazdan into the farmland south of the South Greenway Aqueduct. This wide road is frequently crowded with carts taking food to and from the Bread Basket just north of the road.

The Bread Basket: large open air market selling food grown in the Greenway accross the river, but also spices, salted ocean fish, and meats brought from the cross roads and Tarabrah.

The Clocktower of Fayah: Towering 30 feet above the surrounding, low lying buildings of the trade district, the Clocktower of Fayah is the prinicipal landmark of the Trade and Workshop districts. The inner workings were imported from the work-shops of Buqbah and are maintained by a specialized team that live in the Artificers Market.

Artificers' Market: Much of the stores in the arificers' market are owened and operated by gnomes (of all types - proximity to old roads under the Taachlaz Mountains has given even the notoriously reclusive deep gnomes a place in the city) has lead to eclectic, sometimes cramped feel. Most shops have a front area large enough to accomodate taller folks, two story living ares in the back that nearly match the front rooms. People from all classes and ranks of society can be found windowshopping in the artificers market.

Trade Quarter: Much of the wares made in Fayah are sold here. Its' position close the main gates means many of the inns and taverns in this region are filled with visitors, with news and rumors of the world.

Smiths' Lanterns: The strip of river bank filled with workshops that lends its name to the entire ward.
