Cyoria's commercial heart — a maze of shops, stalls, and magical supply vendors that transforms into the center of the Celestial Forge festival every summer.
The merchant district runs on controlled chaos. Shopkeepers hawk their wares, street performers draw crowds, and the ambient noise is a constant backdrop of haggling, laughter, and the occasional crack of a demonstration spell. Magical supply shops sell everything from basic alchemical ingredients to practice wands, catering to the Academy's student population. During festival season, the district becomes the city's social center. Food stalls, game booths, and performance stages transform the commercial streets into a celebration that draws visitors from across Eldemar. For most Cyorians, the Celestial Forge is the highlight of their year. For anyone who knows about the invasion, watching the festival preparations is like watching someone decorate a house that's about to burn down.
Crowded streets lined with shop fronts displaying everything from mundane goods to minor enchantments. Colorful awnings and hanging signs compete for attention. As the Celestial Forge approaches, festival banners go up across every available surface — bright cloth, floating lights, and temporary stages for performers. The architecture is newer than the old quarter, built for commerce rather than defense.
