<em>Called the City of Temples or the House of Festivals by some, known simply as Decadence to others, cited as an example of god-ruled slavery by Immaculates across Creation, cursed by the Deathlords and famous throughout the Scavenger Lands, Great Forks is one of the most prosperous and enlightened cities in the Confederation of Rivers. Known for tolerance, art, culture and learning, but also for revels, drug production, slavery and direct rule by immortal gods, Great Forks is a favorite destination of those looking for a good time—if not necessarily a relaxing one.</em><br/><br/>(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/e2/Great-Forks.jpg)<br/><br/>Scattered throughout the temples and fanes of the Temple District are numerous small playhouses, fairgrounds, inns, teahouses and restaurants, parks and pleasances, arenas, gymnasiums, villas, markets, gardens, brothels and sorcerous frivolities, where the people of quality work and relax. Proximity to the Palace at the centre of the city reflects ones status, the important people living close by. Further out live the middle classes, with their private houses, tenement blocks, markets that serve the necessities of daily life rather than the luxuries of the frivolous and so on. On the edges of the city live the poor, in high tenement buildings or low hovels.<br/><br/>It is the street just outside one of the larger inns on the North side of the Temple district that concerns us, where the normal sounds of evening revelry are shattered, those within hearing them replaced by shouts, screams and the clash of arms.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">This area, while still being part of the Temple district, stands close to the North Quarter, the roughest and most dangerous quarter of the city, the 'slum district' where the poorest live, where thieves hide and where the most illicit of pleasures can be sought. The street has several inns, tea houses and brothels, the players will be scattered amongst them when things start up in the street.</div></div>
