The Skinworks

Just inside of the main Wolfhaven walls lies the Skinworks, which houses the tanneries and furriers industry. It is segregated from the rest of the city behind internal walls and an additional gatehouse to protect its residents from the noxious odors and pollutants produced by these industries. Additionally, those with a keen sense of sight can spot Wind and Air elementals stationed here, assigned the task of keeping the majority of the noxious scents and harmful emissions from the tanneries at bay, preventing them from spreading to the residential zones.   The Skinworks is designed in such a way that it is difficult to discern from the outside of the district. It's concealed by its own smaller internal walls and gatehouse, camouflaging its presence to outsiders. However, as soon as you pass through these walls and enter the Skinworks, the atmosphere changes drastically. Visitors are immediately assaulted by an overpowering stench emanating from the various tanneries and the harsh chemicals used in the skin-curing process. The whole district is a hive of activity, with workers bustling about, but it's also a filthy and repugnant place for the average visitor.    With those and its own smaller internal walls, the Skinworks is hard to even notice from the outside of the district, but once inside those walls the visitor is hit by an almost overwhelming stench from the various tanneries and the chemicals they use to cure the skins. The whole district is active and alive, but also dirty and disgusting to the average visitor, and a veritable maze of sagging walls and roofs that are reminiscent of a shanty town rather than a hive of industry.

Architecture

The Skinworks' architecture is chaotic and haphazard. Buildings, if they can even be called that, seem to have been constructed with little regard for aesthetics or structural integrity. Roofs sag, walls lean precariously, and it's a labyrinthine maze of narrow alleyways and winding paths. The district feels more like a shanty town than an organized industrial zone. This disarray is a reflection of the district's primary function – it's about functionality and production, not aesthetics.
