Dragon Quarter is one of the most infamous locations in the entire Wold. On a good day, over 100 adventuring groups can be seen hanging out in this area resting from their last adventure or preparing for the next one. The highlight of this area is Adventurer’s Square where Adventurers are catered to in most every way and means. Statues of current Dragon Consortium Groups fill the square as stores by the dozen surround it selling everything an adventurer might ever want or require.

Some of these stores include Insignias by Polo, Moneychanging by Gayley, Grubb and Chub Supplies, Sally’s Petite Armor, Waldo’s Armor, Tuff Stuff for the Barbarian, Paso’s Headgear, Jehosephat’s Rare and Ancient Emporium, Puula’s Components, Krall’s Axes, Poles by Shook, Slade’s Blades, Sticks and Stones, and many others.

The area is full of inns and taverns as well. Chief among these is the Red Wyrm Inn. Containing 24 hr. entertainment, a tablecloth level restaurant, daily events, and the famed main entrance to The Maw, an untamable dungeon created by a mad archmage, this establishment is one of the wonders of the Wold. It is owned and managed on behalf of the legacy of the Red Wyrm Adventuring Troupe by the Gold Dragon Adventuring Troupe. Nearly as famous is the Adventurer’s Repose. Actually the AR is in the Hindquarter, but is usually thought of as being a part of Adventurer’s square sitting north of Red Dragon Castle at the eastern end of the square. Other taverns and inns in the area include: The Green Tortoise Club, Jazz’s Comfortable Emportium, Finlon Vod’s Party House, The Golden Griffon, and the Beer and Bath.

The Gold Dragon Castle is on the western edge of the quarter. It faces Gladiator Park and the Golden Arena. The Gold Dragons are perhaps the most popular Dragon Consortium Group currently active and stories of this famed group are available for the asking at any tavern or inn.

The ultimate magic shop in The Wold is housed within a castle in Magic Square. It is called The Catacombs. It is franchised throughout the Woldverse and claims to be able to find any available existing magic item anywhere for the right amount of money and time. Managed by Gaston, this castle sized shop is another of the wonders of The Wold.

Across the street from the Catacombs is yet another of the Wonders of The Wold: Star Tower. This star shaped structure rises over 300’ into the air. It has 6 known floors filled to the brim with libraries, laboratories, and of course mages. This is the headquarters for the Plateau City Mages Guild. Membership is open to all mages able to meet their levels of competence.

One final note about Dragon Quarter. The front door entrance to the Thieves Guild is accessed by passing under the sign which reads “Rogues Only” on it. From there, it’s up to you to find The Guild.
