Merctown Mystic Quarter

In 3rd age, the Mystic quarter is only accessible through an underground bunker entrance concealed in the arms bazaar.   You enter the under ground bunker and see 2blast doors, one leads to the magic zone which drago can enter, one leads to the spokes which is not currently accessible.

The entire quarter is underground in a natural cave system that has been enlarged through warlock controlled elementals and shifter controlled entity labor.

Magic Zone Entrance requires a permanent visitors pass for 1000000 credits as well as Warrens clearance, and a Merctown mercenary access badge to get into the arms bazaar.

Drago bought all of these passes (warrens clearance, merctown citizenship, arms bazaar membership, and finally mage zone pass).

In exchange for helping the Red Devils with the concert the rest of the group got day passes to the mystic quarter.
The group has some time to shop.  When done shopping  Drago was told to visit Garzom at the mage guild by a Red Devil and get his teleportation to Tolkeen there.

So Drago can enter Dockside, Warrens, Arms Bazaar, and the Mystic Quarter. (L3 access)
Caldor, tow jam, Drago pay each pay 1mil and can access Dockside and WArrens, Arms Bazaar. (L2)
The rest of the group "snuck" in and Non magic using people are looked down upon as "poor" by most snooty mages in the mystic quarter.must remain with a chaperone who has the right access or risk being detained.

The group see signs for access to the Hub and Spokes area which are only for permanent residents of mercown and are rumored to effectively be underground acropolises that rival chitown in luxary.
