The Lampglass District

Located just east of Crows Corner alongside the Blackstone Mountain, the Lampglass District is one of the original districts built by the founders themselves. Architecturally distinct from any other part of the city and even home to several non-humans the renown of the district attracts many visitors and makes it a popular destination for students to explore. Named after the abundance of enchanted lamps which float and stand beneath the overhangs of the pagodas illuminating the glass-like waters that make up many of the streets, the district has been unchanged by war and time for as long as history can recall.

Cast in the shadow of the Blackstone Mountain the district is rarely ever illuminated by daylight, baring witness to the strange stone-like sky and glittering stars native to Scholomance. Instead, as its name suggests the light within the district is produced by countless enchanted lamps which dim but never truly extinguish by night mimicking the rise and fall of the absent sun.

## The River of Glass

Many of the streets within the Lampglass District appear to be a deep royal body of water which reflects the countless lamps above creating a soft orange glow within the city by day, and like the Glowing Pond of Scholomance, begins to glow a mystical blue in the absence of lamplight by night. Unlike the glowing pond however, the River of Glass only appears to be deeper then it truly is, as many of the pedestrian streets can be walked with ease. Most strangely the water of the river does not appear to stick to those who treat within it, nor does the sediment below suffer from disruption when trampled, defying all logic outside of magic.

Several parts of the river beyond of the pedestrian roadways form deeper pools, where small fish can be found and wild aquatic flowers can be seen growing below the glasslike surface of the water. The water itself contributed by a series of several waterfalls casting down the blackstone mountain.

Many people have described the water as appearing as if it has an invisible sheet of glass or ice atop it which only shows signs of motions in the reign, yet beyond that impossible surface the water below flows with a steady and calming pace. Flower pedals which land upon the surface confirm the presence of motion as they drift along to inevitably be carried into the quays of New Lynnsdian and the oceans beyond it.

## Architecture

Often times defined as the heart of the Carpathian Mountains the Lampglass District features architectural styles reminiscent of Romani culture as well as designs supposedly akin to those seen within the First World. Slender wooden pillars adorned with delicate filigree branches outline many of the buildings lifting up curved pagoda overhangs creating a living naturalistic aesthetic that is further embellished by an abundance of wild growing flowers and ivy. The buildings themselves follow the winding path of the River of Glass, diverging and conjoining like a river delta.

Unique to the Lampglass District is the lack of overhead bridges which leads to the narrow streets and looming mountains feeling less constricting then the other districts of Innumbera. What bridges are present transverse the River of Glass connecting patios between neighboring buildings, serving no true purpose beyond minor incidental convenience.

Similar to the orange and burgundy wood which constructs the walls and pillars, the windows of the Lampglass buildings and lanterns possess an orange hue and subtle nearly translucent veins. The purpose of which is often overlooked despite being well documented; the architecture itself is self healing. Based on the numerous unique and arcane traits of the district it is often assumed that Lampglass was once even home to The Founders while the school was being constructed.

## Economy

The Lampglass District has historically been home to the most affluent and arcanely gifted individuals to call Innumbera home, contested only by The Umbral Grove. Primarily serving as a place of residential presiding,
