Detail on Areas:

Rock Tower Quarter
 A Rocktower looms above the city. The structure is large and is considered one quarter of the town by itself.  The tower was constructed over a Tal religious temple called Shamek.  The temple of Shamek was made of stone and was easily building to build a military structure ontop of.  The Tal's view the newer military structure as a desecration of their religious heritage and its presence causes consternation between the peoples to this day.  The ruins of Shamek beneath the tower are said to be extensive and include ancient Tal catacombs holding the remains of ancient Tal Shamans.   The Crow Rangers currently control the tower and do not allow access to anyone.  They have agreed to not damage the ruins beneath the temple and keep watch to both keep out Tal worshipers and potential vandals.
There are no businesses in the Rocktower Quarter and entrance to this quarter is forbidden without permission from the Crow Rangers.


Tal Quarter:
A quarter of the Town is sectioned off and Tal peoples are allowed to settle and live here.  This is a bustling part of the city full of human and Tal traders.  Some of the highest Tal Shamans call this quarter home so they can be close to the ruins of Shamek that lye beneath the Rock Tower.
