Tyr’s Noble District is divided in two by the Caravan District. The stylish, spacious stone residences of the Noble District serve as a reminder of what most commoners will never possess—a family name associated with a history of wealth and influence. Merchant princes, templars, ranking administrators, and nobles who maintain villas inside the city-state enjoy various degrees of lavish quarters. Their residences are tall and airy, usually three stories or more in height. Most homes have quarters for servants, private courtyards, and gardens.
The district’s shops are more sophisticated than those found elsewhere in Tyr. Herbalist shops spice up their offerings of medicinal herbs and exotic oils with flute and sitar music. Vendors of colorful silks, glassblowers, and perfumeries display their wares in fancy arrangements outside their storefronts, enticing passersby to linger. Essentially, these shops exist to separate nobles from their excess coin.
