Scalies
Scalies is an official extension to Mearscon, on the other side of the river. It has an important dock and barges that are strictly monitors to allow people and goods to cross the river into the city proper. The primary road to the city comes through here, so there are plenty of sketchy inns, boarding houses, and caravan gathering spots.
This district is made up of wooden shacks in various states of disrepair and and endless sea of tents and fire pits. The people of Scalies are typically non-humans not accepted in the city itself, such as goblins, lizard folk, halforcs, and fetchlings.
In recent years after the exodus of people from Calaviaire during the Legion War, many of the refugees arrived in Mearscon. With no place to house them and citizenships not granted, many people of Calaviaire have made Scalies there new home. This has tripled the size of the district in recent years, but adding to the tinderbox of racial issues and scarce resources in the district but also gaining some attention of the Silver Council.
The guards don't often get involved in patrols in Scalies except when trouble interferes with the flow of goods coming and going from the city.
