Ever since Orgrus IM 1009 within the Mercantile Quarter where Guild and business, have gathered commerce thrives and people enjoy the benefits of trade as they buy, sell, exchange and steal the best the city has like a river across the land The Invisible Grand snaked across the quarter with shops hanging off it like trees overlooking a river bank.
It was a place of dull lights but lights nonetheless, the Invisible Grand is a wide street (especially for Deci) though still bends and sways in loops and rises. The habit on the street is to go hooded or masked and long into the day or night there is usually some celebration and revelry to be seen somewhere along its length.
The Invisible Grand caters to the very best and several notable persons are known to have shops upon it, the largest and most impressive of these being The Golden Spur belonging to Dirk Draken and The Wood Baron of Governor Selgard.
Indeed most of the council, including The Vizier, King Majius and The Forge have their own somewhat smaller shopfronts located here and if one were to traipse the length of the winding and looping parade would see shops owned by the rich and powerful from across the Empire, names such as Sire Haruld, Count Ma’ar Saldana, Sire Thor, Lord Flashblade, Baron Bogginson and Master Jake Tremens have taken advantage of the benefits of the shops upon the street to advertise their wares and services or sell the produce of their estates.
Over the years the Vizier has been more than happy to sell shops to any and all who wished to benefit from such, in the certain knowledge that what is good for their profits is good for Deci’s trade.
In Aiprus IM 1010 Master Halfblack undertook an ever more ambitious scheme that resulted in the largest trading street in the empire filled with shops. Where now Deci had expunged itself of much of its murderous influences, where the population now thrived once again and the people cried out quite unlike themselves of old for quality, for the chance to spend and to enrich their lives with baubles then with his ear to the reverse of a speaking-trumpet was Anath. King Street was a grand undertaking with buildings pulled down where possible and where possible a road remade straight as a Halfblack promise that runs nearly, almost up to join Hightown and onwards and upwards thereafter to the Spire from which a King might stare down and see his city mostly, and to Anath’s wishes, spending. The stores are for the most part made from the best of the buildings unearthed by the Guilds – the street rather and strangely so, old fashioned, ever jumbled though, the premises are big and with no two sharing a time or architecture between them.
