An Herbalist shop in the Merchandising District. Owned by a barbarian woman named Petalfoot. The place to go for a potion or powder.

In the new city near the Three Moons. Many elves visit the gardens while in Palanthas.

A business located on the edge of the west side of the New City. The owner, Gilbenstock, hires out individuals to first survey the mine and then to dig it with one of his gnomish inventions like the Iron Dragon.

The biggest library in Solamnia if not all of Ansalon. The library is three stories high, the main entrance is in the front. Semi-circular steps lead to the large double doors of glass set in bronze. Although the structure was built with the same white stone as was used with many of the other magnificent buildings of the Old City, it is unknown just how old the library is. What is known, however, is that the Great Library is home to the Aesthetics and it was home of the founder of the Aesthetics, Astinus the Chronicler.

This library is a vase repository of knowledge on any subject, and also contains the complete history of Krynn, all meticulously written down by Astinus and the Aesthetics. Admittance is free to all who come (exept Kender). At night, a side entrance is used in place of the front, which is locked. Inside, the rooms are lined floor to ceiling with bookshelves. Desks and chairs are conveniently provided throughout the library.

A Cartographer's shop owned by Wes Songline near the waterfront. Said to be the best maps in Solamnia. Filled from floor to roof with all kinds of maps.

An ancient fortification built to protect Palanthas. The wall was built in the Age of Might by dwarven engineers and is in fact, two walls. Each wall is thirty feet high, that surround a deep ditch filled with mud and stagnant water. Seven of the eight major avenues run through the gates in the wall which are guarded by minarets and 300 foot-tall towers. The towers are fortresses in their own right with battlements circling the structures at fourty and sixty feet. The towers als have armories and doezens of slits for archers to shoot from.

The only place in Palanthas can one find as varied a collection of frest fish as in One-Eyed Kate's Fish Market. Located in a massive warehouse, this shop, or rather it's owner, is said to be associated with some shady organization. The shop is easily recognizable by the sign right in front of it that has a large fish with only one eye.

A shop specializing in religious items. Few people visited this shop but in recent days, sales have gone up.

A tailor shop, owned by Garreth Hemsquare. The clothes leave a lot to be desired but they have loyal customers nonetheless.

A grove of trees that guards the Tower of High Sorcery. Palanthas gives it a wide berth due to its magical qualities. The only way to pass through is with the use of a nightjewel given by the Master of the Tower of Palanthas.

An underground temple that can be accessed via sewers

One of the loftiest sanctuaries in the city. It is lined on both sides of its house of worship by two rows of marble columns. The cieling is so high that the candles that light the temple can not reach the top, leaving it dark at night. Behind the columns are alcoves. Ther eis a Hall of Priestesses where all the women of the temple live. There are two High Priestesses and two High Priests.

Located North of the Shoikan Grove, and West of the Central Plaza. The Temple is made of white marble and surrounded by beautiful, well-maintained gardens.

An Alchemy shop owned by Mac Oremann. It gets its name from the ingredient that alchemists use to turn lead into gold.

A mere fifty feet from Shoikan Grove lies the only shop in the neighborhood. Those who want to know about their future visit here. THe shop is owned by a young female Minotaur names Soothtounge and it is said her predictions are never wrong.

Near Shoikan Grove where abandoned buildings give wawy to shops and residences lies this unassuming shop. The only thing hinting at the function of this building is a small sign featuring the Three Moons of Krynn. The Three Moons is owned by Mistress Jenna. Whithin, one can find all kinds of spell components as well as magic items of a more powerful nature such as rings, staves, and scrolls. Mistress Jenna no longer runs the shop herself, her duties as head of the Conclave keep her too busy to do so. Instead she leaves the day-to-day operations to her apprentice.

During the Dark Knight's reign of Palanthas, owning and selling any weapon of war was illegal. In spite of this, some Palanthias specialized in selling contraband weapons. The Whetstone, owned by a former sorcerer named Laslo Reaver was one of these places. Most come here now to have their blades sharpened to perfection that merely lightly running it across the skin will cause one to bleed.

A monument built by the Dark Knights after they took control of Palanthas. Sir Elstone Kinsaid didn't want to destroy the Temple of Paladine due to its importance to the people of Palanthas. The shrine is made of black granite and adorned with a brass sculpture of Takhisis in dragon form. The Shrine is now seen as nothing more than an ancient relic that, albiet barely, adds to the city's history. One unlucky, more than likely junior, Knight of Solamnia is stationed here for one week at a time with the only orders being to keep it clean and prevent any attempts to destroy or vandalize it.

Built into a gorge, the University of Palanthas lies to the northeast of Palanthas. The Scholar's Way being the only way to get to and from there. THe ten story building was founded following the death of Vinas Solamnus and the faculty has had a strained relationship with the Aesthetics because it was Astinus who once rejected the scholar's idea of including the Great Library of Palanthas in the university. Each floor contains lecture halls, study halls, laboratories, and dorm rooms. Major fields of study include literature, philosophy, military history, law, and histroy.
