Old Ironside

The abandoned area of the city known as Old Ironside was once just called Ironside Quarter - a thriving ward in Ashtown, until an outbreak of manafever struck 30 years ago. The population was decimated, and most of the remaining survivors were turned into mutants. Ironside Quarter was eventually emptied, its residents evicted from Haven. Explosive charges were placed at key structural ponts in the emptied district and detonated, causing the entire district to sink into the ground.

In the interim between the plague and the demolition of Old Ironside, new walls were constructed around the quarantined ward. Shieldmarshal snipers are stationed on top of the turrets that dot the massive wall at all times. Most of the mutants who were forced to leave fled to nearby colonies inhabited by more of their kind. Some managed to find tunnels into Mahr's sewers, and The Sump, but most routes have since been destroyed of filled in through the combined efforts of the Legio Custodes, The Shieldwardens , and The Vetani Consortium. Still, some among those dwelling in The Sump know ways to get into Old Ironside, and those brave enough to explore the half-flooded ruins might very well find an array of treasures belonging to its previous inhabitants.
