Artisans' Quarter

"The Artisans’ Quarter is built around a large marketplace. The finest artisans live and work here, and the city’s trade guilds are headquartered here."

Nestled around Greyhawk’s Low Market, the Artisans’ Quarter may lack the raucous taverns and bustling avenues of the city’s more renowned districts, but its influence stretches far beyond its quiet streets. This is the beating heart of craftsmanship in the Free City, where Greyhawk’s finest artisans, smiths, weavers, and tradesfolk live and work. Many sell their wares at the Petit Bazaar on select days, while others maintain well-established storefronts, their reputations drawing customers from across the region.

The quarter is also home to most of the city’s trade guilds, their headquarters serving as both hubs of industry and centers of quiet rivalry. Here, neighbors keep watch over one another—whether out of genuine camaraderie or the ever-present drive to gain a competitive edge. The district’s proximity to the Low Market ensures that its residents rarely need to venture far for materials, making it one of the most self-sufficient communities in Greyhawk.

Unlike the more chaotic quarters of the city, the Artisans’ Quarter enjoys a reputation for safety. Its steady, industrious rhythm leaves little room for disorder, and disturbances are rare. When trouble does arise, however, the City Watch responds at an unhurried pace, arriving within 2d8 rounds—secure in the knowledge that in this district, trouble seldom lasts long.
