Northwestern Tennis Court

The Northwestern Tennis Court was one of the few specifically sporting facilities found in the Delctra's Cauldron Borough. With a single dedicated court for tennis, not only for the Cauldron, but for much of the northwestern side of the city, court time was by reservation only, and rarely for practice rounds. A challenge for a tennis game in this court could be considered nearly as serious as a challenge with swords. Despite the scarcity of facilities, tennis is a popular sport in Delctra's Cauldron and nearby neighborhoods. Matches draw in spectators by the hundreds, and contenders practice in the streets and courtyards of the city, to the peril of the neighborhood windows.
The version of tennis played here would later be known as "real tennis". Spectators galleries were located around the sides of the court, with the balls hitting the walls above the galleries. Nets hanging in the galleries occasionally prevented casualties among the spectators.
The court did vigorous business for tennis players of course, but the facility would easily be turned over for theatrical performances, dances, or meetings.
