5) Temple Quarter

In the Temple Quarter are many of the larger religious structures.

The three churches of Dragonswright are set very close together here, and are the largest churches to any of the Dragons in the world. Tre’Volos is also one of the only places where individual temples have been set up for each of the three Greater Dragons individually.

The “Templar Temple” is dedicated strictly to Orb, the “Utgart Temple” to Ra, and the “Starlight Temple” to Ahi.

The "Temple of the Unknown God" is very close to the Castle. At one time, this church had a very different clientele. But one of Sedmon’s first conflicts in the city was to clean out the old temple and the relics inside, and refurbish it, and reuse it as the center of the Christian religion in the world.

Runeki Temple is also located here. It is sacred to Druids. The Druidic worship area is dedicated to Runeki and Faesoli.

The Temple of Thoth, Pentacle Court, and the Street of Songs are located here.

There is a wooden (strangely enough) temple, called “Celadon Citadel”, in the square that is the worship and training area for Monks. This huge building has schools for several different types of Monks. It is one of the only monasteries that has more than one type of martial arts lessons.

Pentacle Court is where most of the major magic schools and colleges are located. The Mage’s Guild is also located here. Tre’Volos is the only city known to train Mages for all nine of the schools of magic. Near Pentacle Court are many small shops catering to Mages of all types, with spell components, various items generally used by Mages, such as Parchment, and stores filled to the rafters with magical items of every sort. One of the best known is “Malf’s Magic Shop” which is better known for its more unusual contents.

The Street of Songs holds the Bardic school and unusual shops catering to artists, craftspeople, and musicians. Quite a few of these shops sell musical instruments. More shops sell musical notation paper, and many arts and crafts items. Many schools providing lessons in arts and crafts are located here. Even people wanting to just learn a tune or two are welcome.

The Temple Quarter also contains Sedmon's huge castle and adjoining military citadel and armory. The magnificent Castle of Sedmon towers over everything in the city except for the World Tree. Very beautiful materials were used for its construction, and the results astonish visitors.

There is a large Hospital here, with quite a few Doctors and medical professionals. It is one of the only true hospitals known in the world. Many Doctors and other health practitioners work here. Sedmon is the one that provides their funding. No city resident has to pay for health services. Next to the Hospital is a Veterinarian's office and small pet hospital. Many citizens have household pets, and the military uses Guard Dogs frequently. Occasionally, a Wizard or Druid will use these Veterinarian services for their Familiar.

The City Library is also here. It does not have any spell books, but does have a wide assortment of books on every subject that can be collected. Unlike Terran Libraries, Tre’Volos Library does not lend out books. There are many small booths with desks that are provided for people to use to read the tomes here. Places to copy out material from these books are also provided.

Another of Sedmon’s advances is the Tre’Volos schools, Colleges, and Universities. Almost all children are sent to school to learn to read and write, do simple mathematical exercises, learn about the planet and the items on the planet, some history of both the town, it’s most well known inhabitants, and the history of the world. Other normal school subjects are taught here, and many children graduate the schools without going through the Colleges or Universities. But many also use their learning to go on to the Colleges or Universities who can teach many of the skills necessary to become one of the city’s magic users. Graduates of the school go on to become Craftsmen, Professionals, Scholars, and Tradesmen, among others. There is no cost to send children of city residents to the schools. The Colleges and Universities may have a cost associated with certain classes, but the various Guild schools do a better job of training individuals for the adventurous life. “Elementary” schools have been constructed in each of the city quarters. This is also true for “High Schools”. There are only nine Colleges. There are only two Universities.
