Mendican Foothills

These leftovers of the Dancing Shoe Mountains are by and large utilized for farmland and the rearing of livestock. In a sense, the Mendican Foothills are the little brother of the Grain Spiral; just like the Spiral, the food and goods produced in the Hills go almost entirely toward feeding New Crobuzon. Unlike the Spiral, though, which has a deeply ingrained and closely monitored relationship with the city, the farmers of the Hills are much more like free agents. (They also tend to be poorly educated and bigoted.) Bandits are a fairly frequent sight for travelers in these parts, especially just at the feet of the mountains, an area known as the Cold Dust.
