====== Summary ======

{{:districts:westgate.png?400|}}
Citizens of Absalom often say that Westgate, whose residents affectionately
refer to it as “Bestgate,” is stuck in the Mithral Age. The people of Westgate
won’t deny that. The Mithral Age was an age of wonders and boasted some
of Absalom’s most important heroes, organizations, and policies. The great
hero, Lady Kayle of Taldor, defeated the dragon Maejerx Steeleye in the
Mithral Age. The Mithral Age was the first time slavery was abolished in the
city—never mind that it’s also when slavery was first introduced. Iomedae
ascended to godhood in the Mithral Age; the Pathfinder Society was formed
in the Mithral Age. Being stuck in the Mithral Age is a badge of honor that
Westgaters wear with pride. It’s why the Sally Guard still wears the uniforms
the First Guard of Absalom adopted in 4478 ar. Likewise, hunting lodges
litter the district, due to the “Golden Age of Lodges” during the Mithral Age.

Westgate may not be as wealthy as the Petal and Ivy Districts, but despite
that, some of Absalom’s oldest families dwell here. The traditional and
conservative nature of the district has drawn more and more people just
coming into their wealth or their twilight years, and Westgate is rapidly
growing. District residents say, with not a little bit of pride, that the district
has grown so much that a second sewer was installed. The further west and
north into the district, the more businesses give way to residential areas that
grow in wealth and size as they get closer to the western wall and the Ivy
District—and farther from the Foreign Quarter and Puddles District.
