The only buildings or organizations of note would be the Wordhall and The Magistrate. The Wordhall is a Tavern where people of short stay in the city can find accommodation. Due to this the Wordhall has become a selling point for the district, its existence brings people from all over Theraxis together. In the Hall they discuss, revel in each other's stories and fabricated tales to astonish. The second building of note is The Magistrate, a tavern, and shop that caters to the wealthy wizard looking for the right equipment and components.Faithwalk
In the West of the city lies the second residential area known for being home to the only temple in the city.

However, the Cathedral also caters to other Alliance of Dawn deities such as Bahamut, Avandra and Ioun. The following of the Knowing mistress is small throughout the world but in places built on learning such as Trodworth she has a larger presence. The market at the western gate is where farmers in from the provincial countryside come to sell their wares.
