Safiya

A district in Ezurum, home to many of the high standing citizens of Ezurum. Its streets are broad and paved, its canals sparkling and clean. There are cultivated parks, including the large Silent Gardens, where it is forbidden to speak or make noise, lavish taverns and brothels, jewellers, tailors, and other luxury establishments. Street merchants are not allowed to peddle wares here, resulting in a serene, spacious atmosphere. 
==Locations==
===Silent Gardens===
A lush park, spanning several isles of the district, consisting of a maze of hedges, bathing pools, trickling fountains, and apricot trees; all paved by pale pink marble. It is clean, peaceful, and dignified. Talking, along with any kind of trade or carnal pleasures, are strictly forbidden here out of respect for the Ruhun faith. Here, worshippers can absorb themselves in the serene voices of nature, untainted by human language or interference.
===The Columbarium===
A large, domed cathedral. It is windowless and the interior is lined from wall to wall, floor to ceiling, with coffins, going up seven or eight meters. Corpses are stored here for a year until turned to bones, whereafter a shaman hides the bones within countless underground vaults, connected by cramped, dark tunnels, so that no enemy of the family can get to the bones of the deceased and use them for sorcery. 
===Seven Lamps Inn===
A cosy wooden inn with a whitewashed and beautifully painted exterior, seven lamps hanging along the front, above the door and windows. There is a tavern on the first floor, above a two-story brewery and wine cellar. On the second floor are bedrooms and servant's quarters, but the third and fourth floor are off-limits to outsiders.
===Cleomaic Auction House===
An impressive gallery and auction house where rarities, raw resources, and trade deals alike are set for sale to the highest bidder. The Auction house has become a popular meeting place for different factions engaging in back-end deals.
