Merchant's District

The main ground level district of Snakevein. The larger mouth of the cavern opens unto this district where many of it's larger buildings can be seen from even outside the city. Natural sunlight illuminates much of this area during the day and magical laterns are spaced along the major paths to light them in the darker hours. Looking up, one can see the Temple District, massive manors and temples devoted to the gods lining the higher walls of the cavern. The buildings almost shining in a level of brilliance that invokes the idea of the divine. The river does run through this part of the city and several smaller vessels are generally transporting goods or people using this thoroughfare. With the main docks located just ousides the cavern in the Outer District. The base layout of the city is a large grid of major roads, but between these roads, things become a bit more chaotic, with some neighborhoods sticking to a grid, while others turn into veritable mazes of buildings with 3-6 paths intersecting at varying angles. The majority of the businesses are located within this district. The architecture is a hodgepodge of different styled houses up against each other. It houses the highest population of the districts at roughly 40% of the City's total population. As such, 6 of the city's 12 guilds have their headquarters located within this district.
