The Ezurum Legal District

A district in Ezurum, also known as The Scales, which is home to the civic offices of the government, including the House of Sparrows, a messenger’s service, the treasury, the foreign exchange, and the main barracks of the city guard, as well as the Guild House and Goldsmiths, who act as Ezurum’s bank. The rest of the district is a residential area of rich estates and fenced apricot gardens and farms where slaves toil away.
==Areas==
===Guild House===
A huge hall, newly constructed with the rise of the guilds, owned and directed by the Goldsmiths. Here, Ezurum’s guilds trade, hold meetings, and conduct other business. The tax collectors and toll officers also reside here, and the courthouse has recently been moved to the Guild House as well.
===Clerk Street===
The main avenue of the district is lined with imposing structures of all sorts, including pawnbroker’s, auction houses, foreign exchanges, and mints, always heavily patrolled by city guardsmen.
===Myriad Bridge===
A massive bridge of white stone connecting the district to the Silvers, inspired by Harpy's Bridge in Kardunyas. Luxury apartments and shops perch all along the length of the bridge. Most citizens of Ezurum have never crossed it.
===House of Sparrows===
The administrative center for the Sparrows, a wide-spread messenger service in the city. They swear sacred oaths of secrecy to never reveal the contents of their messages or the identities of their clients, or so they claim.
===The Jester's Ship===
A tavern and theatre for the refined, whose performances are considered subtler and more poetic than its rivals. The entrance, an alehouse decorated with velvet canopies and flowery vines, gives way to a large round playhouse in four levels. The first and third levels are balconies reserved for respectable folks while the fourth level is the cheapest seats. The second level is made of private boxes where the rich can enjoy the best views.
