The district offers the largest Marketplace in Ghateelock. It offers many Inns and Taverns, as well as a few libraries, cathedrals, Brothels, and lots of artisan shops. It also has the largest Amphitheater in the city, designed to maximize the distribution of sounds and capable of sitting as many as 500 people, and it has the only Gladiator Arena in the city. The laws are reasonable and sufficiently enforced to keep everyone happy. This district is the only place where the Main #1 Law is allowed an exemption, but only within the Gladiator Arena. It is also well known that only volunteers (however crazy they might be) or criminals may be sent into a fight to the death. But Deathly fights isn't the only events on the menu; Cart race, Athletic Games, Archery tournaments and other fighting tournament where death isn't possible, and more.

Places of Interest
#1:
Gladiator Arena :: More than 5000 people can sit comfortable in this arena, but they can easily sit twice this much. It is said that they managed to sit over 14,000 once or twice for some of the most famous events in history. Although the Arena belongs to the Fuller Family, a Nobleman called Salks is in charge of managing it. He's a Human lord and for some unknown reason, a lot of people seems to be afraid of him. The Arena offers at least one event every week; Cart race, horse race, dog race, all kinds of other race that may attract people, Gladiator fights, monster fights and other kind of fight that would attract people, and other physical feats that keeps people wishing they were as good or talented as those athletes.
#2:
Amphitheater :: Acting, singing, playing music, this place is the dream of all artists. Designed to carry the sound to perfection and with its controlled access, only the best and most famous or very lucky artists will have a chance to perform in this Amphitheater. The lucky few who do perform there, will make ten times more than they would anywhere else. The manager of the Amphitheater is Tryzenn Fuller, a Half-Elf Music enthusiast and artist at his time who decides who can and cannot play in his Amphitheater. The process to even get a meeting with Tryzenn is apparently tedious.
#3:
Meerkats Fur :: They raise Meerkats, they feed Meerkats, they kill Meerkats... or so they used to. The recently added law apparently makes business a little harder, but rumor has it that Kazimir, the owner, pays people to do the killing and even though most of them know they will end up in the Arena, so far, none of them ever had to face a 'Death Fight' for their crime.
#4:
Smith and Wesson :: You want to have a Weapon or Armor forged by experts, this is the place you want to go. Their price may be 10% to 15% higher than anywhere else, but their speed is hardly matched. They have a crew of experts and they can make a lot of weapon in very little time compare to most other places.
#5:
Farmer's Market :: Fruits, Vegetables, Cow Milk, Goat Milk, Eggs, Meat, Live Stock, everything you'd expect to find on a farm, you'll find in this market. Farmers have a rotation where most of them will sell the fruits of their labor. People from all over Ghateelock visit this market every day to purchase what they need.

Fuller's Inn & Suite :: One of the largest Inn in Ghateelock. and 5 communal room with 8, 12 and 20 bunk beds. There is also 2 main rooms where people can eat, drink, play and enjoy music and entertainment of all kind. The one thing it is not, is a Brothel. The owner; Marrick Fuller The Fifth and his family; Wife, children and grand children, all live and work there. They are known as one of the very few Nobles who doesn't really live a life of luxury and they all seem to enjoy what they do.

#7:
Cathedral of Azuth :: Ironic isn't it? The main religion of Ghateelock shunned by their own God. Azuth, the God of Wizard. This impressively large Cathedral still hasn't lost its beauty, but it seems to be losing in popularity. Many priests, also many wizards, have lost faith, and for good reason. The End of Magic era means nothing good for this Faith and for the Cathedral.
#8:
Constable Barrack HQ :: This is where you will end up if you commit a crime in Fuller. This HQ has at least 50 Constables at all time, half as many at night. The basement has a jail where a constant flux of 10 to 20 people are awaiting judgement, but the jails could probably hold ten times this many. Adrian Fuller is the Judge, Jury and Executioner. He is known to spend most of his time in the Barrack, managing the Constables and passing judgement on the criminals at least once a week. The luckiest ending up on the Pillory, while most others will end up in the Arena.
#9:
The Nine Palaces :: It is now common knowledge, even in all other districts, that when someone says they live in a Palace in Fuller, although it will not be a lie, for this is what they are called, The Nine Palaces are nothing but. They are nothing but a huge stack of houses, huddled up together to form 9 huge buildings that can accommodate an enormous amount of people. Each Palaces are different in sizes, the smallest of them known to house as many as 50 families, where the biggest would house over twice as many.
#10:
Gladiator's Keep :: Located next to the arena and almost as huge, this Keep is where all the Gladiators and Monsters are kept. This is also where they train. Guarded by 50 mercenaries, most of them having been a gladiator at some point, this place is probably the best guarded place in Ghateelock. A lot of young aspiring warriors often trade a few Gladiator Battles in exchange for a harsh but efficient training.
#11:
Lake Nymrya's House Block :: Who wouldn't wish to live by the lakes? This are offers clean water and has an abundance of fishes in it. Only the residents are allowed to fish in this lake.
Rumor has it that long ago, some sort of magic mushroom was growing deep in the lake; mushroom that made people super strong and resistant, but a Dragon was protecting them, as well as would be protecting a huge treasure hoard.
#12:
Tahtoalehti Fern Garden :: 45 flowers. They say this flower blooms only once every 200 years, but all 45 plants were carefully planted 5 years apart so that at least one would bloom every decade or so. Regardless, they look good and smell incredible all year long as well as providing a small amount of small berry like fruits that keeps people fed, like the famous Magical Berry. With the End of Magic Era, the quantity of Berries produced has dropped to a mere twentieth and no one knows if the flower will every bloom again.
#13:
Chapel of Rillifane Rallathil :: A simple chapel for those of that faith.
#14:
Chapel of Myrkul :: A simple chapel for those of that faith.
#15:
Fuller's Castle :: Situated at the top of the Crown of Fire, the Fuller's Castle is another one of many attraction in Ghateelock that helped the city grow so big. The water around it is said top be pure, but it is also, near the boiling point and usually too hot to swim in. There are no fish in it either, but the water is always crystal clear and is always good to drink, given you allow a bit of time for it to cool down, unless of course, you're making Tea. A little over 60 years ago, this was the Castle of High Lord Auburn, who was the High Lord of Ghateelock under the reign of King Prhall of the Middle-Horn kingdom. After Vhaliss took over and parted from the Phrall Alliance, he moved into the Ivory Tower and not so long after, the Fuller Family was given control of the district and allowed to move into the castle.
#16:
The Mill Inn :: If the Fuller's Inn is the best in the district (some argue, best in Ghateelock), the Mill Inn is probably close behind with its incredibly skilled owner, a master chef, famous in Ghateelock for his Pastries and Deserts. Blockhead, the owner, he used to be a Slave under Lord Auburn and he was the Family Cook. He was allegedly the best cook in the region when he committed a crime no one really remembers [History DC 20 if haven't lived in Fuller for over 10 years, DC 15 if lived in Fuller for over 10 years: to know specifically about that], and then he was forced into slavery for his Lord instead of facing whatever other sentence he had coming. [Same history check to know what the crime was] Blockhead was freed by Lord Vhaliss and given a Inn to manage. Rumor says he was asked to provide pastries and desert for the Nobles, but that he would be paid for it. Blockhead never changed his name back to whatever it was, because he wanted everyone to know that sometimes, faith can change anyone's life, even a Slave's life for the better. The Inn offers a variety of very delicious meals and food, but also the most delightful deserts, and all for a reasonable price if you do have a little more than the average commoner. Still, a lot of commoners save money so they can purchase pastries from him for special events, birthdays, and such. They have a stable to accommodate visitor's mounts and they are located right next to the Amphitheater. It is customary for performers to close the evening at the Mill Inn after a show. Between shows, there are often other performers entertaining the guests, and hoping to be good enough for Blockhead to notice them because; Rumor has it, he's a close friend of Tryzenn and that he helped many get a show in the Amphitheater.

- Lodging: 10gp for a suite with one queen size bed (they have 2), 4gp for the triple rooms (they have 2), and 2gp for the single rooms (they have 5). They don't have any communal rooms.

#17:
Sunchard :: This plantation of Sunflower provides its seed in abundance. It is beautiful and well taken care of.
#18:
The Atharus :: Buy any pussy at regular price and get a second pussy for only one copper! This Brothel is the strangest of all and offers two pussy for the price of one. Unlike most other Brothel, Atharus doesn't provide male prostitute at all. But the strangest thing is: The Atharus is the name of the boat in which the brothel was established. A huge Galeon was brought into this lake about 50 years ago and although it reaches the bottom of the meteor pit, it was placed there and they build a deck and some sort of entrance on the side before transforming it into a stationary building. They open the sail just for the looks when the wind is very soft or null. The owner:
Oronia, a very beautiful Half-Elf female with strange tattoos runs the place. The docks are connected with another part of the Brothel, which is the Inn and Tavern part, but no sex is allowed inside that building, anyone who wants to enjoy the pleasure of the flesh must do walk to the boat. Oronia is apparently not on the menu, but mostly all the girls that serves you food and drinks are. Rumor has it Oronia is not exactly a Half-Elf, but that she would feed on people's orgasm.
Prices:
- Lodging: 12gp for a suite with one queen size bed (they have 10), 5gp for the triple rooms (they have 8), and 3gp for the single rooms (they have 15). They don't have any communal rooms.
- Meals: They offer 3 meals; meat stew (1sp), Boiled Artichoke (15cp), or Pickled Lamb and Dried Watercress (2sp)
- Drinks: Ale (1sp), Cider (2sp, 16sp for a bottle)
- Bathing: 1gp to have it prepared into your room, and Oronia will told her bouncers to beat the crap out of anyone who'd bath in the lake.
#19:
Ghateelock Training Barrack :: Every Constables, Every Wall Guards, and every Soldiers working for Ghateelock and any District have to go through this Barrack. There used to be 30 Officers and approximately 300 men in training at all times until the End of Magic Era. Since then, the Emperor decided to stop training Soldiers, but Constables still go there to train. There are only 2 officers managing the whole place now, instead of 30, and there are roughly 10 men training to become Constables or Wall Guards at any given time. Rumor has it there are times, days or weeks, months even, where no one is training at all.
#20:
Soldier Quarters :: What used to be where all the 30 officers (the 6 houses on the left), and 300 men (the two rows of house facing the wall). Since the End of Magic Era, those houses are mostly empty, but each of the soldier houses offers 5 bunk beds in what could be a house for an entire family, maybe even two. Rumor has it Lord Fuller is considering having those houses renovated to add even more people to his District.
#21:
Silver Platter Inn :: Not as fancy as the name suggests, but still offering decent food and drinks, as well as entertainments. The owner is a Sturdy Human called Rocky.
Prices:
- Lodging: 10gp for a suite with one queen size bed (they have 3), 4gp for the triple rooms (they have 4), and 2gp for the single rooms (they have 9). They don't have any communal rooms.

- Drinks: Ale (1sp), Cider (2sp, 16sp for a bottle)

#22:
Lucy's Love House :: Brothel for soldiers, wall guards, constables.
Inns and Tavern - Note: There are at least a dozen other Inns in Fuller and many more Taverns. Their price will be similar as The Mill's Inn, but the quality of the food and drinks is evidently of lower quality.
Brothels - Note: There are a few other Brothels in Fuller. Their price will be similar as The Atharus's price, but the quality and security of its hosts and guest may not be as secure or as clean.
