Tythian Quarter (Torrune)

The Tythian Quarter is one of the major districts of Torrune. It is located in the south-central part of the Low City, with Aulgasmark just to its east and the Syrennian Hill rising to its northwest. It is a crowded commercial district encompassing several large bazaars, the western half of the Low City's canal network, major sections of the thoroughfares running from the Portage Gate down to the river, and a bustling waterfront connected to the High City by Qorro's Bridge. Some areas consist of desperately poor slums, while others contain the walled households of prosperous trading clans. The Raker's Village is located on the southeast edge of the Tythian Quarter.
The Tythian Quarter is so-named because in the early League days, it was home to a number of merchants and emigres from the Free Duchies; this is less true now, but the name endures.
