Serrapine Quarter (Torrune)

The Serrapine Quarter is the easternmost district of Torrune's High City. It encompasses the Hart's Hill and, on its western edge, Okhtar's Hill and the palace of the Archons. 
The name of the Serrapine Quarter comes from an old-fashioned Tuvai word, serap or serapa, denoting either the enclosed grounds of a palace or grand household, or the actual wall encompassing the same. Locals disagree on whether the name originally referred to the grounds of the archonal palace itself, or to the various walled gardens, courtyards, and terraces of the rich merchants' houses clustered on the Hart's Hill. Either explanation is plausible, and whatever the origins, the name could easily now refer to both.
