2) Thieves Quarter

The Park of Power, a very large park and huge playground and gaming fields, is here. Emperor Sedmon has introduced many sports games to play throughout Tre’Volos – Baseball, Soccer, Football, Tennis, Basketball and many more are scattered throughout the city, but the largest concentration of sports fields are here in the Park of Power. Contests between teams are frequent and usually have a good crowd watching.

The Zeta Obelisk looks quite a bit like the obelisk from “2001: A Space Odyssey”. This object is surrounded with a park where people go to eat and relax and watch birds. No one knows what the object called the “Zeta Obelisk” is, but no one remembers a time when it was not here. This large black solid rectangle of an unknown substance has never been known to do anything but sit here.

The Temple of Hedonism (read: “Brothel”) is here. The Temple of Hedonism is open 24 hours a day, and 364 days a year. It closes only one day per year, on Ailm 1 – New Year’s Day, and also on Idho 1, New Year’s Eve. Both of these are generally combined into a single day and night, but every five years Ailm 1 and Idho 1 are each held on a single day, making for two festivals for New Year’s so that the calendar remains correct. Both females and males of almost any type and race will be glad to offer their services to paying clients. Prices vary by the popularity of the employee, and the services requested. The lobby has a small bar where drinks are served (unlike most Brothels, these drinks are not watered down), and a number of seats on both sides of a richly appointed room. One row of seats is for patrons, the other is for available employees. From this room customers make their selection from the available employees, and are then lead to a fairly nice bedroom. There are larger bedrooms and ‘playrooms’ for other types of encounters. Some customers will wait for a specific employee to be available. Cassandra Lockheart, the mistress of the house, knows most of her regular patrons by name and what their favorite preferences are. Cassie is an extraordinary beauty, and tries to employ individuals that have a high Charisma. In addition to her human employees, Cassie keeps other races on hand. Elves, especially Elven women, are very popular. There are Dwarves, Gnomes, Mnoken, and a scattering of a few Half-Dwarves and Half-Elves. She even has a couple male and female Orcs on hand. Although not really into things like torture, she does have facilities for light SandM and light BandD. Cassandra will occasionally allow wealthy patrons to purchase her own talents. There is always at least a pair or more ‘Temple Guards’ present to handle situations that might get out of hand. Because of its huge size and popularity, and the vast array of employees, Cassandra cannot remember a time when a customer has gone away unsatisfied. She also keeps a large collection of costumes for her employees to wear for more unusual encounters. Even Sedmon has been known to frequent this establishment.

In Shrine Square are many smaller temples to local Deities and Demigods. There is hardly a Deity in the world that is not represented somewhere in the city, except for ones dedicated to Chaotic Evil Deities. The only Temple in the city dedicated to a Chaotic Evil God is the Temple of Thoth. All religious organizations are required to register with Clerk of the Courts. There is no fee, but this information is used to provide travelers with directions to the temple of their choice.

There is a large military stable and military barracks. The barracks is where all military, and city guards, and local constables eat, rest, and report to. Most of the military, guards, and policemen also have their own residences. There is also a local militia that uses this building occasionally. The Militia is made up of mostly trained commoners that are willing to provide a third line of defense should one ever become necessary.

The Protector’s Gate is a very large archway set into the middle of what was once know as the ‘old’ city walls, and what was once known as the ‘new’ city walls. It bears a plaque of dedication to all that have given their lives in service to the Emperor. There are at least three circles of walls within Tre’Volos. Every time the city expands, they just build another one.

The Avenue of Power is a large broad boulevard that runs through the center of the quarter from the southeastern city walls through the Protector's Gate to the Palace. This boulevard has two lanes of traffic, and a wide green sward between the lanes filled with trees, grass, and flowers. The Avenue of Power runs from the gate to the southwest to the castle.

This is also the home of the Thieves Guild, the Assassin's Guild, and the Beggar's Guild. The Thieves Quarter is the most run down of any in the city, but even it is far more beautiful than that implies. Many unusual stores and people can be found here if you look hard enough. The Thieves Guild exists to train people to be Rogues. The Assassin’s Guild does the same. Even most of the city beggars are part of a guild.
