This quarter is just east of Dragon Quarter and Adventurer’s Square. It is one step down from that area financially. The Red Dragons have their castle here as do the Green Dragons, who occupy the Black Dragon fort, won from them in a duel which also banished the Black Dragons from Plateau City for 10 years, according to the Green Dragons who participated in the Level 3 Oathbonding.

Cheaper, yet more scenic are the taxi barges of Leipa Landlubber. Her service follows the Endless River and uses it as a mode of transportation. If you travel to the river, you are usually within sight of a taxibarge. Simply call or wave it over and you have cheap safe transportation to anywhere within the city that touches the river. She also has private taxibarges available as well as early morning and late evening romantic tours including Moonlight Island and Endless Falls.

This quarter is just east of Dragon Quarter and Adventurer's Square. It is home to two historic structures and two retired Dragon Groups: the Red Dragon Castle, housing the Red Dragons and the Black Dragon Fort, which is home to the Green Dragons (it's a long story) .

To the northwest, Cavalier Way runs past a sort of spillover form the Dragon Quarter next door. Here, lower-level adventuring companies can find more modestly-priced lodging, and specialty shops find the rent a little cheaper.

The bulk of the district, however, is home to salt-of-the-earth laborers, crafters, servants, artisans, and shopkeepers. Modest homes line the streets, punctuated by the occasional neighborhood pub or family store. Even counting the adventurers, this is an honest, hardworking quarter occupied by (mostly) honest, hardworking folk.

To the southeast, near the river, the triple-domed Temple of Ffloy watches over the district. In the surrounding Sister Square, an astonishing variety of vendors hawk all manner of religious paraphernalia--mostly for Gargul and the Gods of Wold, but godly trinkets for just about any existing God or Power can be found.
