Sudwand
The district of Sudwand is cramped, overcrowded, and restless. Squeezed between the southern walls and the Nulnerweg, the locals constantly rebuild and remodel their homes to accommodate a growing population. Few leave the district, choosing instead to enlarge their hovel with a rough wooden extension or new ramshackle floors added to the roof. The result is an ever-changing confusion of flimsy dwellings and temporary constructions. Tight alleys and winding streets appear and disappear from month to month. The eastern streets of the district are home to most of Altdorf’s poorer Halflings, who lack the influence and connections of their Haffenstadt relations. These are the under-cooks and downtrodden servants, the unlucky rogues and the overlooked potboys. Making the situation worse is the domineering presence of Lefra and Ambur Lowhaven, a Halfling couple who effectively rule the community. Their power comes from intimidation and blackmail. Thanks to a network of terrified gossips, Lefra knows every Halfling’s secrets, while Ambur has a key to every home. They even have Human families under their thumb.
