This district exists as a sanctioned space where excess is concentrated and regulated, allowing Ra’azum’s political and religious centers to remain orderly and insulated.
The aquadrome is particularly popular in this seaside city. It is equipped with a pumping system that changes currents to move things away from and towards the middle. An overhead crane can also add excitement, dropping chum exactly where it's needed and so on. A brown oil floats on top of the water, obscuring whatever lies beneath while the waters below the oil are crystal clear for the spectators. Magic walls hold the waters in allowing seating below the water's surface. The best seats in the house are right at the water line.
 
  
Fights in the aquadrome involve sea monsters and beasts, teams of ships and crew, and the popular and often hilarious Whack Attack! This show has two teams of [[hobbits]] in rowboats hitting each other with leather bats.
