Known For

Goldtown is known for its golden tea and golden ale. While the ale is little regarded outside the plains, Golden Tea is considered a premium tea across all of Volkyr, and is sought with vigor by any nobles worth their silk wishing to host a dinner party

Shops

Potter's Outdoorsman Supplier

Nestled on the corner of crowded street, Potter's Outdoorsman Supplier is known for its adventuring supplies and the wooden statue of a Tiefling that sits in a place of honor in the corner of the store. Potter claims to sell everything an aspiring outdoorsman needs to make his or her way in the wilds of the Lightpoint Lands.

Protect Yourself!

With high walls covered to the brim in weapons, the vast majority of which are for show and unavailable for purchase, Protect Yourself! is a two-story smithy and arms and armor trader located just outside the western gate of Goldtown. It is run by the jovial and violence prone Cato the Hammer, a human proud of his time working with the Goldtown Settlement Authority until losing three fingers led him to instead take up the armorers and weapons' trade.

General Goods & Teddy's Inn

Connected via an arced opening covered by a trellis full of sunflowers, General Goods offers a variety of wares for the common and working folk, whereas Teddy offers small rooms and cheap meals for travellers. Both have been rather busy of late. The Trellis is maintained by Teddy's wife Belinda, who can almost always be found clipping vines and fishing for compliments from customers and weary travelers

Activities

Cries and Carriers

Cries and Carriers deliver news and pass messages all over the Fountain Dominion. Their reach extends beyond the Goldtown Plains, deep into Severian's Reach. There are whispers that the business, ostensibly existing only to deliver the news and pass messages between folks, is a cover for more illicit underground activities, but ownership by the noble Tiefling Philosophist Marques protects the origination from deep inquiries by Fountain Dominion authorities.
