The Merchants' Quarter of Absalom is a city district located west of Eastgate and east of the Coins. In this section of the city, much of the business and financial dealings of Absalom are carried out. It is essentially the business sector of the city, rather than a marketplace, for which the Coins functions. Many of these meetings and deals take place in the Grand Dance Hall of Kortos, a theater where dancing troupe shows are displayed. The Clockwork Cathedral, an academy of mechanics and constructs is located in this part of the city.
