Išira (neighborhood)

From Almeopedia

Išira is the name of a goddess in Caďinorian paganism.

The Išira [i ˈʃi ra] is a neighborhood of Verduria city, south of the Maztan-lagana and extending to the right bank of the Eärdur, a borough known as the Bordë, the Shore.

Settlement in the Bordë dates back to Caďinorian times, and indeed one of the features of the borough is extensive ancient ruins. However, the street grid was laid out during the Eleďe dynasty, and the diagonal Rafát and Enäron streets were carved out by Mëranac 1e. The neighborhood is one of the richest in Verduria, filled with the mansions of nobles and rich bourgeois, and the northern section is the site of most government offices.

Noteworthy buildings include:

• The High Court, the Exchequer, the Ministries of Justice, Foreign Affairs, Roads, War, and Trade, and the City Wizard
• Embassies of most of the countries of Eretald
• The Meršsäte of City Market, one of the largest marketplaces
• The Corona Inn, once run by Abend Monteneon, and its friendly rival the Lazaro
• The National Theater and the Pelerin Library
• Most of Verduria's major publishers have offices on Prosia Fleot, for example the Corona Publishers
• Verduria's Irreanist temple, devoted to Saxys
