Aleburg

The city’s poorest neighborhood, Aleburg is a mess of burned-out buildings, rubble-strewn streets, and political anarchy. Police patrols along the neighborhood’s borders are frequent (no one wants Aleburg gangs menacing other neighborhoods), but it’s rare to see a squad car drive into Aleburg—much less drive out again.

Demographics

Only the desperate; poor folks don’t live in Aleburg if they can help it. But those battling drug or alcohol addictions wind up here, as do criminals who want to ply their illicit trade free of scrutiny.

Points of interest

Fifty years ago, there were boat races along the Aleburg canal. Now a body or two floats down the canal and washes into the river every morning. The canal’s only real value is the fact that it serves as a moat, protecting the Studio District and Torton from the residents of Aleburg.
One of the Aleburg street gangs, the Freaks, have recently organized themselves under paramilitary lines under the leadership of an outsider known as the Red Hand. Internecine warfare continues in Aleburg, but the Freaks seem to be gaining the upper hand, absorbing the remnants of the gangs they defeat.
