# District: Redbrick The **Redbrick District** is the traditional market heart of [[City - Treston]], housing prestigious trading guildhalls, libraries, and the old mages' guild. A bastion of stability and tradition in a rapidly evolving city. ## Atmosphere & Description The Redbrick District stands as a bastion of tradition and stability within the rapidly evolving landscape of Treston. Situated away from the damp squalor of the Mudshores, this area is defined by its namesake masonry and a generally pleasant, lower-middle-class atmosphere. The Redbrick District serves as the traditional market location for Treston, housing the prestigious trading and monetary guildhalls. Because of the immense wealth flowing through these halls, the district maintains a heavy and constant guard presence, offering a sense of security that is sometimes rare in a city where crime is on the rise. Education and ancient lore are woven into the very fabric of these streets, as the district is home to the old mages' guild and numerous libraries. In the central squares, adventurers can find a reprieve from the global bustle in homely, quiet pubs and restaurants that offer a stark contrast to the rowdy inns found near the docks. At the heart of the district stands a massive, ancient tree, a local landmark and meeting spot that serves as a living reminder of the beautiful nature found in the wider world. However, even in this well-guarded haven, the unconventional thinking of the modern era and the pressures of capitalism have left their mark. Beneath the veneer of respectability and the quiet rustle of library pages, those who know where to look may find underground fences and thieves' guilds operating in the shadows of the halls. While it is a premier location to pick up supplies and conduct legitimate business, the Redbrick District is not immune to the growing discontent with social inequalities brewing across Treston, making it a place where ancient customs and new-age greed frequently collide.    ## Features - **Traditional Markets**: Prestigious trading and monetary guildhalls - **Educational Centers**: Old mages' guild and numerous libraries - **The Ancient Tree**: Massive landmark at the heart of the district - **Security**: Heavy and constant guard presence - **Hidden Elements**: Underground fences and thieves' guilds in the shadows
