Far removed from the grime of the Mudshores and the bustling dockyards, this area is a meticulously curated sanctuary for the elite, including noble families of High Elves, upper-class humans, and high-ranking Dwarves. Here, the reputation of the capital as a shining beacon is at its most literal; noble estates stand as grand, stone monuments to wealth, often tended by dedicated teams of servants while their masters travel across the six continents of Gryth. The atmosphere is kept unnaturally calm and clean by an elite contingent of the city guard, ensuring that the shiny veneer of the city remains untarnished by the crime or social inequalities rising elsewhere in Treston. The district is defined by its sprawling, private estates and lush parks, where the beautiful nature of the world is captured and manicured for the enjoyment of the wealthy. Magical lamps float serenely above tended gardens filled with rare flora, illuminating the grounds of massive, ornate inns and hotels that sit on their own expansive acreage. These establishments offer a high regard for luxury that is unmatched in Auken, featuring private stables and vast grounds for the finest horses. This is a place of harmony and quiet power, where the members of the city council, such as the Grand High Priest or the Merchant General, might retreat from their bombastic public duties to the comfort of royal-tier housing. Naturally, the district is kept in a state of near exclusivity, as any non residents or rougher looking folk are usually not allowed entrance or quickly herded away if they find their way in. At the heart of the district lie the Silverstone Markets, an exclusive trading hub that caters to the inquisitive minds and refined tastes of the new age. Unlike the chaotic tradehouses of the docks, Silverstones deals in the bartered exchange of rare ingredients, expensive materials, and exotic goods imported by powerful trading companies from across the mighty seas. It is common to see High Elves here, perhaps merchants or dignitaries who find the district’s elegance a tolerable echo of the magic-rich lands of High Vel'Nora. In this truly modern area, the ancient customs of Gryth are preserved as expensive curiosities, and the only sounds are the gentle rustle of silk and the soft clip-clop of horses on pristine, silver-grey cobbles.
