Flieshmark
In the midst of the East End lies an area know locally as the Fleishmark. It's an area almost totally dedicated to the slaughter and distribution of the city's demand for fresh meat.
The area is a warren of businesses that prosper from the meat trade and is dominated by Rumster's Production Haus with its smoking chimneys and smell of roasting meat and strong spices competing with the ominous heights of Crackle Hill that adds its own smell of burning flesh to the pervading stench of the area whenever the wind blows in the right direction.
Every morning, drovers from farms and pastures around the Reikland queue at the east gate, hoping to gain entry to the city before the boom of the artillery fields starts up. Once through the gates, they make to the holding pens and knacker’s yards, either to sell their livestock or see them rendered down into meat and bones. There are many odoriferous businesses in the area, such as tanneries and glue factories, making efficient use of the waste products of slaughter.
A thick layer of blood and manure besmirches the cobbles, and disease breeds in the tightly packed tenements that line the alleyways nearby.
Moli knows this area like the back of her hand and used to consider it her home turf, though things have changed since the 'Shorty Slicer' started its reign of terror amongst the halfling community. Where there used to be halfling pie shops and pie sellers hawking Rumster's Pies all along this street most of the shops are now empty and the pie sellers missing.
