River Quarter Watch Station

For some reason, many citizens of the River Quarter seem angry with this City Watch Station, saying it does nothing to prevent crime. Some local merchants, however, are fairly pleased with it. The Watch officers here always seem to have money to spare and are content. They report there is little actual crime in this quarter.
The bawdy houses and festhalls of Cargo Street often fill to capacity at night, spilling crowds of drunken revelers into the road. In this atmosphere, the trail of surly vagabonds standing in the front of this squat two-story stone structure across the street and just down the block from the Green Dragon Inn looks no different from any other. These criminals and dangerous drunks wait not for another cold drink, but instead for processing and a damp gaol cell, for the building is no taphouse. The River Quarter City Watch Station sees as much traffic as any drinking hole in the district, and thanks to its inhabitants, the building and especially its cells reek of the smells that characterize the district.
The watch station’s underground level contains two cramped cells for extremely dangerous characters and a general holding cell for run-of-the-mill drunks, thieves, and killers.
