Upwards from the Crossroads you can find the [[Baelgrim Fortress]], the [[Fissure]] as well as a statue of Lord Kaelin is located in the Central Courtyard. Along the Avenue of Trapped Souls is an eerie looking tree. It is at this tree that aspiring Mhaldorians kneel and swear their oath of loyalty.

Shops are located all over Mhaldor, but the main shops are located in the market district in the lower circle of the city. Rurin’s business has not reached this island and necessities such as inks and even sigils are sold in shops owned by [[Drogo]], the travelling merchant.
