Crossways Hold Tourism District (no NPCs)

The tavern staff conducts a ritualistic polishing of the gold leaf cheese motifs every sunset. Patrons are required to wear a provided gold leaf lapel pin to access the VIP lounge.

The entire tavern has a rhythmic, low-frequency hum like a heartbeat, and the brass floorboards are perpetually warm to the touch. Occasionally, a clockwork waiter will burst into a short, jaunty steam-whistle solo if it receives a generous tip in the coin slot.

The tavern enforces a strict no-magic-at-the-table policy, requiring all gnomish curiosities to be deactivated and spellcasting to be taken outside to maintain the natural, cozy atmosphere. The doorframes are intentionally low, requiring human tourists to duck, while halflings and gnomes move freely.

Gallentine's World of Cheese

The shop is kept at a constant biting chill by a network of blue-tinted gnomish frost-pipes. Customers are expected to speak in hushed tones, as Orlow believes loud noises can cause the delicate rinds of his aging wheels to crack prematurely.

The Tinkers' Gallery

The shop is a vertical cylinder. Fiznik moves through it by jumping between complex mechanical ladders that shift and rotate based on which ropes are pulled. Customers are often expected to wait at the bottom while he brings items down using a small basket elevator.

Weaver's Lane Boutique

Tally insists on demonstrating her products by throwing a cup of cold tea at any customer who expresses doubt about the stain-resistance.

A sprawling network of limestone tunnels located directly beneath the renowned Gallentine's cheese shop. These refrigerated corridors house the kingdom's most expensive dairy products alongside lethal gnomish security.
