The Commons
The World of Greyhawk & The World of Greyhawk Wiki
The current year for our World of Greyhawk campaign is set during 579CY.
Inspired By Gary Gygax
The Commons, also known as Manyfolk, is a district in the drow city of Orthae Qu'lith. The Commons district surrounds the Bazaar and the Undercity "located in a deep dark chasm in the center of the city", a huge chasm in the center of the city. Its narrow streets are filled with shops and three-story tallhouses carved from stalagmites. Patrols deter most open crime.

The Commons is known for being the most colorful, diverse, and tolerant district of the city. It is home to many merchants and family houses (both noble and commoner). Nearly all drow commoners in Orthae Qu'lith live in or originated in the Commons. Many noble houses "and some common houses" maintain secondary (often secret) houses in this district. Many non-drow live in this district and are generally treated peaceably by all but noble-born drow, but they are not allowed to openly worship any deity but Lolth here.

Drow living in the neighboring district of North Wall, which has few (if any) shops, preferred to shop in the Commons.
