Ra'azum Entertainment District

Entertainment District (Ra’azum)

The Entertainment District is one of the largest and most heavily trafficked districts of Ra’azum. Located along the western city wall and accessed primarily through the West Gate, it is the city’s sanctioned zone for spectacle, vice, public violence, and leisure.

The district exists as a deliberate containment space, concentrating activities that would otherwise destabilize the political, religious, or residential heart of the city.

Location and Adjacency

The Entertainment District occupies the western edge of Ra’azum, built directly against the outer wall.

Adjacent areas include:

• North: West Market District
• East: Interior districts of Ra’azum
• South: Exposed stone and bedrock beyond the city wall
• West: Western approaches and routes toward the Bay of Londfolas

The district’s northern edge blends gradually into the West Market District, while a major internal thoroughfare known as the Long Haul connects the western markets to the Caravansarai while skirting the temple districts.

Administration

The Entertainment District is formally overseen by:

• Rancis Theor, Director of the Entertainment District

Oversight prioritizes revenue generation, crowd control, and containment. Moral enforcement is minimal.

Major Venues and Arenas

The district contains several of Ra’azum’s most prominent public spectacle sites:

• Aquadrome — A water-based combat arena hosting aquatic beasts, team engagements, and novelty spectacles
• Ra’azum Coliseum — The primary land-based gladiatorial arena
• Blood Field Arena — An open combat field used for mass engagements, mounted combat, and large-scale blood sports
• Hippodrome — A racing venue hosting speed-based competitions

These venues draw crowds from across the city and beyond.

Old Town

Old Town is a dense and irregular sub-area within the Entertainment District.

It is characterized by:

• Narrow, winding streets
• Stacked and accreted structures
• Long-established residential populations

Old Town contains some of the district’s oldest surviving buildings and serves as a social anchor for long-term residents.

Taverns and Inns

Notable establishments within the district include:

• The Frog and Toad

 Operated by Cyne Eadwic with regular service by Tane Gela.  
 The tavern functions as a base of operations for the Legends Guild and is commonly used for meetings, recruitment, and informal coordination.

• The Raven’s Roost

 Located in Old Town.  
 Associated with Justice Lightbringer and frequently attended by Sara.  
 Known for its quieter atmosphere and stable, long-term clientele.

Vog Raaz

Vog Raaz is a large dwarven neighborhood embedded within the Entertainment District, running along the city wall.

The enclave features:

• Dense, stone-heavy construction
• Mixed residential and commercial use
• Long-established dwarven families and businesses

Tunnels

Dwarves of Vog Raaz excavated tunnels southward and downward from the neighborhood as part of routine expansion. At a later time, sections of these tunnels were exploited as a staging area by the Cult of Necril.

The neighborhood remains active and inhabited.

District Character

The Entertainment District is loud, permissive, crowded, and closely observed. It is where Ra’azum converts indulgence, violence, and spectacle into regulated commerce, ensuring that the city’s ceremonial and religious centers remain insulated from popular excess.
