New Phlan

New Phlan is the main residential district in Phlan. Part slum, part industry and part bazaar, it's here that most of Phlan's citizens live, sleep and work. With the surrounding land cheap and building materials readily available, New Phlan continues to expand each year as migrants flock to the town. Different races and peoples settle from all across the Moonsea and there are multiple overlapping communities alongside the more established human, elf and small folk races including Tharian Orcs, dragon and lizardkin from the local tribes and even tieflings are not unwelcome (or no more than they would normally be).
The quality of housing and architecture varies wildly and here more than anywhere else in the town is the transitional nature of its building seen. Older buildings are torn down and replaced on an almost daily basis and you can always hear the sound of construction work throughout the district. Small stalls and shop fronts litter the district as do a range of services and industries. Though nowhere near the range, quality or exotic nature of what can be found in Podol Plaza, there is plenty for locals to get by on and at a more reasonable price.
Due to the mix in demographics, no faction has any real control over the district. Many forges and the odd merchant are members of the Merchant's Alliance for the benefits (and muscle) it can bring, the Black Fists have regular patrols and guard posts stationed throughout and The Welcomers ply their trade accordingly. Their power ebbs and flows and skirmishes between the groups have only recently intensified as each seeks to expand their influence and finally take a hold the district.
