	~~===== The Law of the Sun =====~~
	The local temple of [[Pholtus]] is a gaudy building on the '''eastern side of Kotnik Plaza'''. '''Nominally they are the state church and involved in dispensing justice''' though in practice this doesn't happen as often as one might think.

	~~===== Ditta Square =====~~
	This used to be just one of the numerous squares in the city but then '''[[House Ditta]] was founded here''' and named for the square. Over time '''they grew to expand to all the buildings on the square, even spilling out into the streets beyond'''. Other than most merchant houses, House Ditta believes in paperwork so many of the buildings are mostly filled with cabinets containing shipping forms and reports.

	~~===== Hedon Hall =====~~
	This is the '''largest place of worship to [[Olidammara]] in the entire world, by far'''. This enormous building is a recent addition, replacing half a city block. The structure contains numerous auditoriums where plays and musical performances are staged every day. At the center of the complex you can find a large, covered market surrounded by many eateries. Small shrines for private worship are dotted around the place and it is said that there is even more to find for those in the know.

	The local branch of the [[Companions of Elric]] can be found on '''Ulica Street'''. The Companions have little presence in Haza, just the branches in [[Beljovac]] and Ide Volcar, and neither is particularly large. This might have something to do with national pride, the people of Haza believe they can take care of themselves. In the past '''the Companions have had a few run-ins with the Kurbak (secret police)''' as well.
