Trade Quarter of Vizima



Vizima, the capital of Temeria, is the largest city in the kingdom. It is located on the shore of Lake Vizima, at the intersection of important trade routes, one of which is a waterway. Owing to a developed network of roads, the city draws considerable profit from trade. By King Foltest's order, the city is goverened by Burgomeister Velerad. Vizima is divided into three large districts. The poorest one is the Temple Quarter, where St. Lebioda's Hospital and the Cloister of the Order of the Flaming Rose are located. The Trade Quarter is home to the wealthiest and most important inhabitants, and both the Town Hall and the main marketplace are situated there. The oldest part of the city, Old Vizima has been recently converted into a ghetto for nonhumans.



The Vizima Trade Quarter is the part of the city where high society lives. These people generally dislike nonhumans and people of lesser social rank than themselves, though there are some notable exceptions.
