Broad Ripple

Description

Aging brownstone buildings, some quite sizable, sit side-by-side with slightly more modern architecture here. Boutique stores line the streets, though nearly a quarter of the shops are bookstores, newsstands, stationers and other businesses devoted to the publishing industry. This neighborhood is a trendy one, with 20- and 30-somethings walking to clubs and restaurants, eager to fritter away some hard-earned cash.

Rumors

A reclusive Dragon makes her haven here, though she has never sought to claim domain over the neighborhood. The character is tasked with convincing her to part with certain tomes from her extensive personal library. The books in question are rare to the point of uniqueness, and most of them are quite old. Doubtless, she will prove difficult to persuade.
