====== Summary ======
{{:districts:petaldistrict.png?400 |}}
The Petal District is the wealthiest part of one of the richest cities on
Golarion. The aristocrats who dwell on Aroden’s Hill, in the northeastern
corner of Absalom, are as far above your typical well-to-do trademaster or
border count as those worthies are above beggars squatting in the street.
From their Petal District palaces, Absalom’s great and good—or at least its
wealthy and powerful—control the fates of thousands. Merchant empires
are run from the Petal District, as are ancient noble houses that can count
their years back to Aroden’s ascension. To be a Petal District noble, it is
said, is perhaps as close to a heavenly existence as is possible on this side
of Pharasma’s court.

A few businesses catering to the impossibly wealthy thrive here, but
most of the district consists of noble estates speckled along the sides
of Aroden’s Hill, typically with courtyards or gardens attached. Broad
boulevards connect the estates, paved with sparkling stones and marked
with brick-framed medians filled with flower gardens, the source of
the district’s name. The most prestigious parts of the Petal District are
near the top of Aroden’s Hill, though those who haven’t quite reached
those heights often debate whether a manor overlooking the bay is more
desirable than one facing the Kortos Mounts. Those who can see both are
often unutterably smug about it.
