Farmer's Quarter

The Farmer's District is one of the smallest districts in Heliogabalus, directly outside Southgate, but inside the King's Wall, the Farmers district sprawls east and west of the road. The Guilds in control of this district represent professions tied to the land, The Vinters' Guild, The Skinners' Guild, The Hunters' and Butchers' Guilds all have small guildhalls in the district.

Demographics

The Farmers' Quarter is mostly Damaran, people who work the farms and lands around Heliogabalus. A smattering of other races call this district home.

Government

Leadership

The Guilds who administer the Farmers' District are no-nonsense people tied to the land. Unlike other districts, the guilds don't compete for power or prestige and work together to keep their district relatively safe and crime-free. The fact that the guilds staff the administration office with older (and often wiser) retired members means that the district is run by people who don't have anything to prove and have a ton more common sense than administrators in other districts.

Defences

Town/District Guard

They have found an ally in Mircen Kinsgate, who leads the Farmers' Watch. Mircen is well-respected by the citizens of the district, many of whom report suspicious activity. Mircen has set up stations on many of the districts heavier-traveled streets where citizens can report activity anonymously, further complicating the activities of Tightpurse.   The unofficial word on the streets from Tightpurse is that these precautions against the Guild are worthless and ineffective, and the reason they don't have a larger presence in the district is that there's nothing much to steal in the Farmers' District and no profits to be had.

Industry & Trade

The main industries here are what people would expect from a "Farmers' District", the guilds are Vinters', Skinners' (which includes tanners), Hunters' and Butchers' guilds. While considered lesser guilds in the city, they actually represent a large segment of the population.
