Silverwall District

Silverwall is easily the richest and most extravagant district in Old Vashton and is sometimes called the Wizard's garden, due to the multiple beautiful and well-tended public gardens found throughout. Each garden is unique, and having been designed by different artists, they will often have some sort of magically imbued art piece as the focal point, things like a floating statue or never-ending water fountain. Alongside these lavish gardens are also elegantly decorated buildings, often bright white with metallic trim, or decorated with silver, for those who can spare the expense. The design of the buildings themselves often include three- to four-story tall towers which end in a point or sometimes a small lookout platform. Many mages live here as well but they tend to try and stay as far away from one another as they can while remaining in a good location. Their houses are recognisable by the extravagant decorations of intricate swirling patterns and the wider towers that can actually be utilised. A high-profile mage moving onto the street can increase the house prices even further and, on rare occasions, the street itself will be renamed after the current arcane resident. 
It is rare to see any of the residents of Silverwall walking through its streets, as they often use carriages or litters. Those walking the streets are the various servants or slaves along with a very high presence of House Deneith guards patrolling or just standing guard outside of houses or particular streets. Sometimes, even small areas of the district will hire these guards to watch over their particular patch, in addition to the guards that are hired by individuals to guard their property. This actually results in a reduced number of House Phiarlan Town Guards in the area, since they know it is already covered. The House that actually holds the largest sway within this district, however, is House Orien; not only is their main building, The Black Needle, found here, but they are highly respected by the residents and often called upon by them for arcane solutions to sometimes rather mundane problems.
The northern and northeastern border of Silverwall is the Old Vashton city wall, which continues from Open Gate round to Respite District. While some of the original Akariean wall exists near to where Silverwall and Open Gate meet, this quickly becomes scarcer as the wall continues east. The wall built in its place is designed to look as much like the Akariean Silk as it can, being covered in a polished layer of white plaster. The wall itself continues all the way around Silverwall, rather than simply along its outer edge, meaning that there is a formidable wall as thick and tall as a typical city wall between this district and its four neighbours: Respite, The Market, Forgelight, and Open Gate. The side that faces Silverwall, as well as the side that can be seen from outside the city, are all kept in very good condition, the plaster and polish being replaced at the first sign of any damage or discoloration, while the side facing Respite in particular is in pretty bad shape, and the side that faces Forgelight is covered in a layer of soot. To stop any of this soot making it over the wall into the Wizard's Garden, a group of mages from House Orien, known as the Silver Guards, station themselves on the top of the wall to magically maintain a wind spell that blows the soot and smoke back into Forgelight or over into The Market and Open Gate.
