Dust District
Overview
The Dust Distrct is a central area within the Bronze Ring, providing industrial level transport to and from mining sites within the Iron Ring, underneath Novus, or within Mount Abregoth. It began to be called the Dust District after the dusty, dirty appearance of minors who return from their work to this hub. The Dust District is the beating heart of the Bronze Ring, as it is centrally located and tends to be a traveling point nexus for many of the Bronze Ring's inhabitants. The headquarters of the Stonehewers Guildis stationed here and administers to several entrepreneurs who manage mining outfits within Novus. A job is nearly always available to those looking for work in this district, though how safe this work actually is is always open to interpretation. One of the better known shrines to Bregoure-- Unbroken Stone Shrine -- is here. It serves as both a place for clerics to administer blessing to miners heading to their shifts and acts as a vital waystation for those pilgrims seeking to travel to the Stone of Remembrance or to the relgious communities to Bregoure within the mountain or deep beneath the earth.

Guilds and Factions
The Stonehewers Guild is the primary powerful faction within the district. The guild issues permits to mining operations and also outfits exploratory expeditions. They are the oldest guild in Novus and as such have a reputation as being deeply connected, both to agents and officials of the Brass Ring of Novus and to other unsavory crime factions within the city.
The Deerai Collective has an outpost here where they oversee exploratoy expeditions and the harvesting of arcane materials -- as well as any material that could make a difference in reconstruction efforts. This presence is not pointed towards building an public academy, but rather a forward research base. The Brass Spears of Novus exert a strong presence here as well, impressing upon all the significance of this district to the rest of the city. If resources stop flowing through the Dust District, Novus as a whole will suffer.
