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.

Not so long ago, this was the Shanty Quarter, a place of poverty, squalor, and misery. Its two saving graces were a small shrine to Alemi, and a protective wall built by retired adventurer Clangden.

Clangden's wall still protects the area.
  
On the river side of the quarter, which is the southeastern end, stands the triple domed Temple of Gargul. Temple Square surrounds this temple, where all sorts of religious paraphernalia can be bought. The area boasts religious items for Gargul and the Gods of Wold, but godly trinkets for just about any existing God or Power can be found. In the alleys off of this square, information about rogue gods may be obtained if one is careful.

Finally, both of the cities’ taxi services are headquartered in this district. Rod’s Reliable Transportation is situated exactly between the two dragon castles. Magical whistles to call a “Rod” is available in most taverns as well as many stores. Simply blow it and your ride will arrive within 10 minutes. He guarantees safe delivery to anywhere within the city inside of 30 minutes.
 
  
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.

Not so long ago, this was the Shanty Quarter, a place of poverty, squalor, and misery. Its two saving graces were a small shrine to Alemi, and a protective wall built by retired adventurer Clangden.

The shanties, however, were leveled during the Fae King uprising, an event which also sharply reduced the overall population of Plateau City. Survivors were able to find lodging in the city proper, and the old shantytown was abandoned. Now, it has been converted into a peaceful, well-kept cemetery honoring the city's dead. Clangden's wall still protects the area.

If you want to visit the Plateau City orphanage, it is a couple hours' walk past Clangden's Gate beyond the city on an old farm.
