+====== Summary ======
+{{:districts:ascendantcourt.png?400|}}
+Perhaps no part of Absalom encapsulates its nature, contradictions, and
+complexities quite so thoroughly as the Ascendant Court. Located at the
+hub of the city’s thoroughfares, the Ascendant Court is the geographical and
+metaphorical heart of Absalom, and from the day of its founding, all the city’s
+life has pulsed through it.
+Past and future rub shoulders here. The city’s oldest cathedrals and
+most venerated ruins stand in the Ascendant Court, but its streets are also
+crowded with new arrivals eager to write their own legends through the Test
+of the Starstone. The architecture of the Ascendant Court is a palimpsest
+of its history, with ancient temples to long-dead gods scattered among
+modern additions in a crowded, colorful mosaic that shows the influence
+of innumerable faiths that rose, evolved, and fell across the centuries. The
+district’s landscape is dominated by the [[starstone|Starstone]] Cathedral, which is ringed
+by an enormous pit. Around Starstone Chasm stand the grand but inevitably
+lesser houses of other deities, arrayed like jewels haloing a central diamond
+in a matriarch’s ring.
