Copperlane

 is the market district of Defiance Bay. It is the first district available upon entering the city.

Background
Primarily a market district, with the Dozens' expedition hall, public amphitheater, and the biggest library in Dyrwood: the Hall of Revealed Mysteries.

Points of interest

 * This is a rich market area of the proud city of Defiance Bay, defined by a large canal cutting right through the heart of the district. You can find Rowan right by the entrance, who gives you a quick pitch about joining the Dozens and introduces the major districts of the city. Right over the bridge is the Goose and Fox, the local watering hole.
 * Beyond lies the sprawling Copperlane marketplace, hungry for your coppers, with the Admeth's Den Expedition Hall looming over it. Available merchants are Lora, Narmer, Igrun, and Peregund, if you helped her out.
 * To the northwest of the marketplace is Purnisc's House, involved in a quest. To the southeast is the Thieves' Hideout.
 * To the northwest lies the largest library in Defiance Bay, The Hall of Revealed Mysteries, with the adjacent dormitory for scriveners and Lumdala's House. Right by it is the exit to First Fires.
 * To the southwest lies the entrance to Copperlane Catacombs and the adjacent exit to Brackenbury.
