Orstei's Hollow

Orstei's Hollow is a district of Halcyon, the capital Llysos. Also known as the Scholar's District, the Hollow is home to many mages, physickers, writers, and other learned folk. It is located in the south-central portion of the city, near the Agora and the Artisan's Quarter. The neighborhood also features several noteworthy curio shops, the infamous Halcyon Asylum, and a number of fine Old Llysian ruins.
==History==
The district is named after the Sophic paragon Orstei, a healer who allegedly lived and worked in the shady, unnamed slums that would later become Orstei's Hollow. Disease was common in the damp, densely populated neighborhood of the Hollow.
Around the time of the Voldranian Exodus, the area began to house many less-reputable physickers due to its high number of desperate patients, and general lack of official oversight. The area was also popular with financially struggling scribes and academics due to its relatively easy access to the Llysian Archives and low property value. During this time, there were many reports of 'disappearing corpses' and kidnappings of homeless persons, and a subsequent boon of biological knowledge and advanced medicines.
Though the district has recently become more distinguished, it is still known for its history of shady medical practice and shops of niche academic interest.
==Landmarks==
The largest and most significant building in Orstei's Hollow is the Halcyon Asylum, which cares for and studies ailments of the mind and soul.
Kyzen's Fresh Meats is Halcyon's most well-known butcher shop outside of Redmarket. The meat is of sometimes of questionable origin but it is certainly always fresh...
