Rogues guild

A small district of the city is controlled by the Rogues guild which is set to have dealings with all of the other gangs in town, as they're intense defences are barely ever needed and they, as the only group in the city, seem to be always thriving.

No Man's Street

Completely empty and abandoned parts of the city. Visitors are immediately attacked by No Man upon entry. The borders are not clearly marked, but locals know them by heart. Visitors from foreign lands however, are likely to get a nasty surprise while wandering the city.

Main Slum

Area where folk with no group struggle to survive in small constructions of sticks and Plastic cover. Small barrel fires all over town are made and used to keep warm and people eat whatever source of sustenance they can get near, though the majority are always starving. This area is periodically controlled by different groupings who frequently fight for control of it in the street, causing many casualties among the local population.

Government

This city has no government, but are run by gang and clan leaders which are in constant conflict with each other.

Defences

Each district is in charge of it's own defences, which includes defence from outsiders, but also from monsters and enemies within the city

Infrastructure

The city has a few dusty broken roads. New roads are only made when ordered by controlling gangs. There is no running water, and no light other than fire at night.

History

Used to be inhabited by the Skaga only, but poor folk evicted from other lands or generally down on their luck gathered here to build a new life. The Skaga did not resist them as they didn't need that much space. They stayed in their own corner of the territory. In time they were outnumbered and the city decayed when fight broke out over city control.

Architecture

Older buildings are tall multistory houses of concrete, but they have decayed over time and people now mainly live in make shift housing in the slums, or wooden structures used by the gangs.
