Swordsman alley is a famous street located in Nelandra, and more precisely in the High Garland district. After nobles blocked roads for years by dueling in the middle of them, the capital's governance decided to dedicate a whole alley to the fights so they would disturb the population no more.
The street is perpendicular to a secondary axis nearby Queen's lane so that fighters would still get passerby's attention as the area is always crowded.
Architects designed it to be broad, so fights wouldn't actually block people and got creative by carving beautiful circles with the pavement and delimiting each small arena with floral arrangements.
As murder, even during reglementary duels is strictly forbidden, the place remains clean most of the time, beside occasional blood stains.
Despite all their efforts, the number of spots just ain't enough, and while it is undoubtedly better than it was, lots of roads in the High Garland are still often blocked by great duels between noblemen.
