Processional
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Processional divides the Free City almost perfectly in half. It runs north-south through the city, providing not only means of transport, but also access for the city's inhabitants to shops, markets, and various districts of the city.
"The city's main thoroughfare is known as the ProcessionaL. Beginning at the southernmost gate, the Highway Gate, the Processional passer through Old City, Black Gate, the River and Artisans' Quarters, the Low Market (or Petit Bazaar), the Foreign Quarter and Clerkburg, the Garden Gate, and finally the High and Garden Quarters to terminate at the Grand Citadel.
Inarguably the best way to see the city, the Processional is always busy with traffic but well maintained, even in bad weather."[1]
The typical width of the Processional is about 120 ft.[2] It is hard-packed sand, so solid that it is like sandstone. The road does not get ruts or turn muddy like many of the other streets of the Free City.[2] There are gutters lining the sides of the roadway, and the street itself has a domed cross-section, so rain (and refuse) are washed away.[2]
The Processional crosses the Millstream in both the Old City and the Halls near the Great Library.[3][4]
In the Old City, where the Processional goes through the Low Market (Petit Bazaar), the road divides in half to go around the Hanging Tree—the enormous roanwood in the middle of the plaza. It is no longer used for capital punishment, and it provides shade, resting area, and green space in the city.[2]
