The Fens

The Fens are a corner of the Theater District on the shore of the South River. Originally a marshy area, it was filled in years ago to allow for the expansion of the city and to eliminate disease-carrying insects. Now a new sort of disease is infecting the Fens, as the area becomes progressively more low rent with each block away from the heart of the Theatre District and toward the river and Greenbank.
The Fens are home to sleazy porn theaters and adult bookstores, a large number of waterfront bars, and relatively cheap housing; more than a few have commented that it is unfortunate the Fens have been largely spared the damage inflicted on the rest of the downtown area by super-battles. Of any of the areas of Freedom City, it’s one that should be leveled. Still, the Fens are cleaner and less dangerous than they have been in the past. The FCPD has undertaken increased vigilance in the area, and the city is doing what it can to “clean up” the Fens.
