The city of war and of theatre. Home to the South Bishop Oharad, the Church of Pandemona, and the Army of Iladence. It is divided into four districts.
1. Market District
A major hub of economic activity, and home to lower and middle class citizens.
Slums
A collection of tents and ramshackle homes which have collected around the south and north gates. Peasants here beg for money from those who pass by. Crime is rampant here, so guards patrol frequently.
Markets
Most streets in the Market District are lined with stalls. Most merchandise is pricey and low quality in recent times. Can find a stall for most things.
Blacksmiths
The prized blacksmiths of Iladence operate out of the Market District. High quality armour and weapons can be found here.
Hulrik’s Hearth
An inn, run by Hulrik. Warm and welcoming, although pricier than its nearby competition.
The Fifth Ace
A seedy inn, run by Yeros. Peeling paint inside and out, and the patrons don’t seem friendly.
The Brief Respite
A short stay inn, run by Eillee. Most patrons come and go quickly, and there is little activity in the common room.
No Mercy
A rowdy and seedy bar, run by Torron. John was met here.
Church of Monotheism
Headquarters of the Fanatics and Zafir. A slum has formed around this building, as more and more impoverished people are attracted to the Fanatic movement.
2. Theatre District
A semi-red-light district. Lots of bars, theatres, and brothels. A prime attraction for tourists.
The War Alter
An old religious temple converted into a theatre. Stone depictions of Pandemona flank the entrance.
Offers war re-enactments, fictional war stories, and tragedies. Also features performances written to glorify and impress Pandemona.
The South Theatre
A magnificent and expensive theatre. White building with gilded handles and ornamentation. Guards stand at the entrance in armour more polished than standard Iladener guards. Run by the wealthy Arafin.
Offers high-art, classics, and the latest plays from the most famous living writers.
Pandemonium
An open air theatre (with retractable roof). Connected to Frisk, a bar. A favourite low-brow attraction.
Offers comedies, ridiculous plays, and other comedic performances.
Frisk
A rowdy bar, connected to Pandemonium, a theatre. Run by Krag. Neil was met here.
Temple of Trickery
Headquarters of the Trickery Church and the High Priestess Adinora.
A nondescript building in a quiet area of the Theatre District, bordering the Noble Distrct. Very dark inside, with lots of smoke and incense. Golden depictions of Pandemona fill the interior, and they shine in the candlelight.

Oharad’s Blessing
An expensive inn, run by Rolen. Neil stays here when he goes to Iladence.
Greater Temple of Pandemona
The most magnificent and impressive temple of Pandemona in Iparra. Celebrates both war and trickery, and a neutral ground in the dispute between these two domains. Home to the High Priest Khalil.
A large set of stone steps lead up to the main building, which has a large domed roof. On top of the roof is a bronze statue of Pandemona. She rides a rearing horse. One hand holds a sword pointed to the centre of Iparra, and the other holds a dagger behind her back.
Features a main hall used for major ceremonies, and smaller private chambers for members of the Church of Pandemona to pray.
Temple of War
Headquarters of the War Church and the High Priestess Faleth.
A beautiful temple, surrounded by several statues dedicated to Iladence’s past heroes, with depictions of Pandemona’s angels of war in between.
4. The South Bishop’s Castle
Home of Oharad, his guests, and other high-ranking nobles. Serves as the fourth district in Iladence.
Visitor’s Hall
