Helpful, a modest circular city beside the meadows of Sympathy, welcomes travelers to restock their supplies. They drink nourishing beverages unique to Helpful. Pies sit on the windowsills. The citizens lookout for each other and everyone belongs to one council or another. It is not so well-organized as active and evolving. Streets and landmarks in the circular city are well-marked. The signage, designed by the fairies of Sympathy, is clear and readable by all — it translates into whatever language the reader needs. It is impossible to get lost in Helpful, the city or the gardens, as someone will always show a visitor the way back to where they came from or the way forward to what they are seeking.
Travelers may stay in free guest lodgings. Apprentices arrive to improve their crafts. Mayors and council members from other cities come to learn. The denizens of Helpful do not travel much themselves. They have much to do in their own city, but are happy to invite others in to learn with them and they share information with the world by missive.
