Aventil

Aventil is a lower-class, neighborhood in South Maradaine. Like North Seleth, Aventil's residents have a sense of community.

Since the collapse of the unified Tyson-led gang, a relatively stable equilibrium has persisted between the various gangs of Aventil.

Much of the Thorn's adventures transpire in Aventil.

Aventil is a sort of triangular district, bounded by Trenn Road, Low Bridge Street, and Waterpath Road. Most of its streets are named for flowers or other flora and fauna. This strongly suggests master planning in terms of the development of the area. Architecturally, Aventil has different styles. Near Rose and Bush Streets, the buildings are made of rough limestone and painted wood. Rose Street nearer to Hedge Street is stone, brick, and plaster, of three stories or less. Even when narrow, Aventil's streets see sunlight.

Most of Aventil does not yet have water closets, instead relying on "backhouses" for personal waste disposal. Many other parts of the city do have water closets.

The only open block in Aventil (other than the walled University) is Cantarell Square.

Institutions
The local Constabulary operates from the Aventil Stationhouse. The Aventil Constabulary is not the most illustrious unit in the city. Most of the sticks are either in the pay of local gangs, or simply apathetic. However, a notable exception is Lieutenant Benvin and his squad, which includes young Jace Welling. St. Julian's Church is located in the middle of Aventil, at the corner of Tulip and Vine.

The University of Maradaine campus is within this triangle, delineated by Trenn Road, Waterpath Road, and Lilac Street.

Lower Trenn Ward, a major hospital, is located in the corner formed by Trenn Road and Low Bridge Street.

Taverns
Rose & Bush, at the intersection of Rose & Bush streets, a popular University hangout. A good place to get sausages, lamb stew, and cider.

The Turnabout, the headquarters of the Rose Street Princes.
