A fantasy d20 System sourcebook by JD Wiker with maps by Christopher West.

Arcane Quarter: A City Quarters Sourcebook is the third volume of the award-winning City Quarters series, which began with the highly acclaimed Thieves' Quarter.

Arcane Quarter explores the workshops, libraries, and arcane orders that might appear in any urban fantasy setting, from the artisans making mastercraft goods to the aging wizards and sorcerers protecting their academic traditions. Every aspect of the setting is created with the larger city of Liberty in mind, but designed so that GMs can pick and choose which elements to include in their own campaigns.

Arcane Quarter includes:

• new maps by Christopher West, a regular contributor to Dragon and Dungeon magazines
• dozens of complete NPC stat blocks, from craftsmen and artisans to apprentices and archmages
• new rules for formalized arcane duels and merchants who sell magic items
• plots, plot hooks, and conspiracies linking it all together
