This lore is pertinent to anyone who has visited the Navarin Quarter of Adeane, as it lays out where all the buildings are and what there is to see, and how one would experience the place.
Navarin Quarter of Adeane
The above is a map of the Navarin Quarter of Adaene, with a rough population of 1300 inhabitants. The terms used on the map are as the Heartlander inhabitants of the wider city would know the areas inside the quarter, not necessarily the locals who may use more extensive names.
Pyat Bratyev Gate: Roughly translated to Five Brothers Gate, this is the largest northern gate through which the Count of Eaton traditionally rides on horseback to begin the procession of thanksgiving day. During the procession, the Count resumes the role of Count Carson Croy, re-enacting the victory parade of the Chrysant War, and marches along the two main avenues to the Pagan House, where wreaths are laid in remembrance to the soldiers who died in the war. Afterwards, a large feast is held in the Sobor.
Torgovy Zal: The Torgovy Zal is the only place where wider Eaton merchants and citizens may ply their trade. The locals of the district prefer to keep the market plazas for their people, and so foreign or local merchants go to the Torgovy Zal, which is just a large covered market hall to stall out their goods for locals to buy. Sometimes the Torgovy Zal is the locale of black market trade because while the locals pay in Regals just fine, the inhabitants of the district don't always look kindly on the Tenpenny Tax.
Gostevoy Dom: The Gostevoy Dom is a large complex of interconnected houses with the largest on the corner functioning as a pub, and the others as rental rooms. The locals do not permit outsiders to reside inside houses after dark, meaning that all Eaton County residents and foreign merchants who want to reside in the district, must return to the guest house for the night after the clock strikes 9 at night.
Vrata Strarykh: The Vrata Strarykh which loosely translates to the Gate of the Old Ones, is a Gatehouse mostly built in memory of Count Carson Croy, but it mostly doubles as a self-regulating prison. The crime rate in this district of Adeane is exceedingly low, but the families punish their own for crimes committed outside the district or crimes committed by foreigners inside the district. The locals have a particular hatred for Vampires, who tend to disappear into the tallest of the gatehouse towers, and never come out.
Pagan House: The Pagan House is a local name for the Fornoss Temple that serves the religious needs of the locals. Unlike the Krainivaya, the Oltaran locals are Fornoss worshipers, not Unionists. The Pagan House is however unrecognizable for most Fornoss worshipers, not only do the deities resemble very different visual representations of familiar entities, but the locals have additional gods not present in traditional Fornoss religion, and the building itself is incredibly ornate and built out of brick and stone, devoid of any Velheim-inspired symbolism and much more austere. The Pagan House also doubles as a local school, where the curriculum is entirely in the native language of the Oltarans. Occasionally lessons in common will be provided by outsiders, but only ever visiting Fornoss believers, as the locals do not permit Unionist teachers into the Temple.
Market Plazas: The Market Plazas are three interlocking plazas in which the locals trade among themselves. The Regal is formally banned on this plaza for trade, meaning that any trade purely occurs through barter. Sometimes outsiders from the district come to this market also, because it is a great place for second-hand purchases and odd curios that the general population would not sell to a merchant without knowing where it ends up.
The Furnace: The Furnace sounds a lot more ominous than it is, rather than an industrial area, The Furnace is just a selection of Oltaran bakeries that specialize in Oltaran goods. Since the district has no produce farms save for some cabbage patches and herb gardens, there is also a grain silo that covers the import of goods for the bakeries to function. This area in general provides all the food for the district, and because of communal management of finances, the food is actually free for the locals, but rather expensive for outsiders. The locals have long since learned that the unique pastries and bread styles of Respublika Slavnogo Sveta are popular among the Heartland locals, and have marked up prices to profit from aristocrat parties that wish to serve something other than Ithanian macarons.
The Kurgan: The Kurgan is a duo complex, both featuring a ring of houses, but within a shared garden featuring multiple burial mounds. Unlike the Velheim Fornoss worshipers, the locals do not use a Helbolwen, but produce several large burial mounds against which stone coffins are laid, forming a ring around the hill, until more dirt is piled on top and the hill is made larger. Each family has their own hill, and among locals, it has become a sport to try and make their hill as small as possible, thus indicating more fortune and long good lives for its members.
Dom Zdorov'ya: Because of the no-nonsense attitude of the locals to health issues and refusal to seek medical assistance, the Dom Zdorov'ya is just a single-room building with a doctor who arrives from the outside. The locals are notoriously difficult when offered medical assistance, and the doctor more often than not just deals with tooth decay and other basic hygiene issues. While this building formally acts as a healing house, very little healing occurs inside.
The Sobor: The Sobor is the second most important building after the Pagan House, as it functions as the assembly hall for the Hetman to perform their duties. Within the Sobor, locals come to either hear the Hetman's work or plans laid out before them or to complain about their issues to the Hetman, who is supposed to take their issues up with the count. While Feodor is not in Eaton County, his younger brother Dmitriy acts as a proxy in the Sobor to hear the issues of the locals. When the locals go to war, the soldiers all pass through the Sobor where the community wishes them good fortune and goodbyes, as the Sobor is built directly onto a set of piers from which military ships can depart.
Yevgeny's Square: Yevgeny's Square is the only thing of true beauty in this district that isn't built in some austere or unfamiliar way. It is a large square used for communal feasts and festivities, but aside from that it is a massive mosaic featuring multiple scenes of the Fornoss beliefs of the locals. One can only truly see the entirety of Yevgeny's Square (named after the builder) from the nearby wall tower, allowing a high enough vantage point from which to truly appreciate the life-like gestures and spiritual narration of the scenes from higher up.
Wider Harbor Area: The Wider Harbor Area just covers general mooring for the ships owned by the locals. Unlike the other trade areas of Adeane, it does not function as an actual mooring place, traders are not permitted to dock there, and no ship is allowed to stay for longer than an hour without express permission from the Hetman. As such, the harbor has occasionally been used for smuggling much to the chagrin of the Counts of Eaton, due to the lack of oversight in the area which is ostensibly meant to be used as a military mothballing area.
