UPPER TAVICK'S LANDING
This ward is effectively a self-contained city catering to
the nobles that live there. It has fine housing, skilled ser
vices, a luxurious mercantile district, and even an entire
district-Sunrise-designed for the servants of the no
bles. The services and lodging in Sunrise accommodate
those with poor or modest lifestyles, as opposed to the
higher-priced goods found elsewhere in the ward.
For those willing to put up with its restrictive laws,
Upper Tavick's Landing has many fine features.

items, though it only has a handful of such items at any
given time. Transmutation is a renowned beauty salon
providing both mundane and arcane services. House
Deneith maintains a fortified garrison and training facil
ity in the Copper Arch district.
