The Grande Promenade, is a large, wide boulevard that leads from the main city gates to the west, and front walls of the city, and ends at the Central Square. It is a very wide city street split down the middle with a divider of green grass, flowers, and trees. On either side of the Grand Promenade are many Guild offices, shops, and group headquarters. Many of the Guilds in Tre’Volos are located here, and accept new members of both types – Neophytes willing to learn a trade, and experienced craftsmen who are living in Tre’Volos. The Grand Promenade is considered the main street of Tre’Volos. When leaving the main city on the Grand Promenade, one is traveling due west. The main city gates are quite large, and have a guard tower at either end. There are also guard towers on the south end and north end of the wall. All walls are about 25 feet wide and 25 feet tall.
The Sword Dancer's Sward is an area that has been specifically set aside for Sword Dancer duels. This square area of plain earth is surrounded by a low fence that people will gather around if a duel is in progress, although this happens rarely in the capital city. There is also a small Tavern and Inn that specializes in Sword Dancer patrons. This square arena/ring is fairly near the castle.
Pitchman's Square is a place where anyone can sell used goods. It is a wide grassy area set aside for individuals who want to sell things that they no longer need. This is basically like a gigantic yard sale, and flea market, where not only small businesses set up tables, but normal citizens as well. Sometimes very usual items can be found here.
Most Manufacturing and light industry are off of the main road. There are pottery makers, bakers, butchers, candle makers, armorers, weapons smiths, food and beverage manufacturers, and many others. These industries are always looking for more employees, and usually start off at a minimum wage, and grant raises as the new employee learns the trade.
It would be rare to find anything in Tre’Volos that was not made there as well.
Market Street and the Merchant’s Quarter contain almost all of the shops and vendors. Occasionally, however, some of the manufacturing plants will sell products out of a company store, where prices might be a little cheaper.
There are also many shops that cater to tourists. There are map stands throughout Tre’Volos, and with the town guard, the city constables, and citizens, it is almost impossible to get lost.
Many greenhouses are near this avenue, and the smell of flowers and spices are everywhere. There are two types of greenhouses, one for just flowers, and the other for herbs and vegetables.
