Crosstown Court
From ThornsWiki
Crosstown Court is the central hub of Vienda society. It is used as a public meeting place, a theater for speeches by public officials, and is the official location for each year's Clock's Eve celebration. This wide circular courtyard is surrounded by shops, mostly selling clothing and other goods made in the factories downtown. Underfoot, the cobblestones look relatively new, as though they were recently installed; the central fountain is gleaming, with hardly a trace of rust or ageing. Atop the fountain is a statue of King Romelius II on blackback.
Throughout the court, several street performers can be seen entertaining small groups of people. There are jugglers, musicians, and acrobats; occasionally, wicks will show up with their special brand of flashy magic to entertain groups of humans, though they are often shooed away by The Seventen. Every first of the week, a local band called Off The Path plays a gig in Crosstown Court, to the delight of most and the annoyance of some.
