=== Torchtown ===
Torchtown is the city’s entertainment district – while music,  dancing, and the like can be found elsewhere, even the most discerning nobles will admit that the productions of Torchtown are the most elaborately produced, well-acted, well-sung, and highest artistry affairs in the city.  Torchtown is one of the districts where all walks of life can meet – the poorest of the poor crossing over from The Maze to beg from the richest of the rich, enjoying a night on the town before returning to their estate in the Noble’s Quarter.  This mixing includes races as well as social classes – one can find groups of Gnomes from Longnose, Halflings from Lowtown, all mingling with humans freely here.  A number of the venues here are in fact owned and operated by proprietors of non-human races.   The district name harkens to the fact that torches burn here all day and all night, enticing people to take in the shows, plays, music, and other forms of entertainment.  Torchtown is the city’s center for brothels and prostitution – while strictly speaking illegal in the Kingdom, enforcement in Torchtown is extremely lax, so long as the businesses bill themselves as something else to the public, with taverns and inns being the most common fronts for courtesans.
