Copperwood
Copperwood is a small town northeast of Absalom, just outside the city walls, which is the home of many of Absalom's laborers, tradesmen, and domestic servants. Originally a tent city of unskilled laborers who could not afford to live in the city proper, conditions steadily improved over the centuries until Copperwood became a town in its own right. The locals are often known as "copperheads".
In the early days of Absalom, when construction was ongoing, the unskilled laborers lived outside of the grand city walls, residing in simple huts and tents or else sleeping on the bare ground. Over the centuries, these poor buildings and living conditions slowly improved, and now the town of Copperwood is the source of much of the city’s supply of laborers, simple tradesmen, and domestic servants (especially in the Petal District). “Copperheads” often hire themselves as guides or porters for adventurers visiting the isle.
