Delctra's Cauldron Borough

Delctra's Cauldron Borough, often simply called 'The Cauldron' is a major subdivision of the Paytern Hill Ward in Trynser City. It is located at the foot of the hill to the east. The borough is nestled between two ridges of Paytern Hill, Rasmar's Ridge to the north and the Tower of Infinite Knowledge to the south. The pinnacle known as Zarmit's Needle lies within the borough's borders to the northeast.
== General Characteristics ==
Delctra's Cauldron Borough was roughly 3300 ft. by 2600 ft. in size. As noted, Delctra's Cauldron Borough was built into a saddle between two eastern ridges of Paytern Hill. There is small hill near the middle, St. Tanta Hill. Numerous streams flowed down from the hills and ridges, though they were often built over.
Delctra's Cauldron was a well-settled urban neighborhood. Typically, the borough's roads were lined by solid walls of buildings all the way along and four to eight stories high. The buildings abutted side-to-side and most often surrounded open courtyards in the middle of the blocks. Occasionally there was a gap between buildings or an entryway for access to the courtyards. Roofs were moderately slanted and tiled with red ceramic tiles done imbrix and tegula style, as they had for centuries. Higher up on the hillsides and ridges, buildings were more likely to be separated from their neighbors and shorter.
== High Roads ==
As common in the city, several roads are built through the borough that are elevated high above the ground level (generally). Several come together atop a hill at St. Tanta Plaza in the center of the borough. The roads are 80 feet above sea level or 20 feet above the ground level in higher areas. In areas where the roads are built high over lower ground, they are on bridges supported by 20 ft. square piers.
Aside from on St. Tanta Plaza and at some intersections on the hill, the high roads do not interface with the common ground level traffic. However, they do interface with a number of higher-quality stores, hotels, restaurants, residences and other notable establishments. St. Tanta High Road also intersects with the Imperial Western Road along the wall separating Temples Ward to the east. Traffic on the high roads is restricted to nobility, gentlemen, certain businessmen who tend to them, and whoever the TCMF do not deem as Not Belonging Here. Arteketti and Gipiton family carriages ply these roads.
* Greystone High Road: Leads from St. Tanta Plaza to Greystone Castle to the west.
* Marketplace High Road: Leads northwest from St. Tanta Plaza through a gap in Rasmar's Ridge to Marketplace Ward to the north.
* St. Tanta High Road: A short road that leads from the east side of St. Tanta Plaza to the Imperial Western Road.
== Imperial Western Road ==
This road is built along the wall that separates the Cauldron Borough from the Temples Borough. Passage along this road is strictly limited by Imperial Warrant. Like the other high roads, it is 80 ft. above the ground or 20 ft. above ground level, whichever is higher, until outside of town. Unlike the high roads, there are no piers, instead being solid wall except for major road crossings with gateways. This is patrolled by the Imperial Army.
== The Sky Bridge ==
The sky bridge is a high road that connects Zarmit's Needle with Rasmar's Ridge on the northern side of the war. This bridge is 100 ft. above sea level, or towering 30 ft. over the ground between the landforms. This road used to supply the castle atop Zarmit's Needle, as the castle has become disused, so has the road. Deterioration and vandalism are taking their toll on the bridge, and on some unfortunates on the ground below. Occasionally the TCMF or the local constables visit to keep intruders off and to overlook the streets below.
== Main Roads ==
Several main roads make their ways through Delctra's Cauldron Borough. These are on ground level, about 40' wide, and packed with regular traffic. These are generally divided with small islands with grass, trees and shrubs in the middle, it is a general rule that vehicle traffic travels in the right-hand side, crossing over to go the other direction.
* Avenue of the Gods
* Commerce Boulevard
* Hillbottom Boulevard
* Temples Boulevard
* University Boulevard
== Major Roads ==
There are numerous major roads, between 20' and 30' wide. There is no center division and though vehicle traffic tends to stay on the right side, it's more of a free-for-all.
