The Chukar Well
This district is so named because one of its most prominent features is a massive 30 foot tall sculpture of the bird of the same name. It is primarily made out of hardened clay, with fixtures and feathers of glass and scrap metal. The Chukar looks ever towards the entrance of the Tujjar Tremorway Strait to the southeast, and within the sculpture is a pressurized pipe system built by traveling tradesmen from Trentsmund several decades ago. The pipes connect to a deep desert well and continuously pump water into a very old and rusty basin that was once the bow of a peculiar steamship from these travelers. It is a constant source of water for the district, although not properly maintained.
The majority of Chukars Sorrow is where one would find artisans, blacksmiths, tanners, hunters, glassblowers, bladesmiths, or any form of work that requires some stationary shop. Much of these businesses encircle the sculpture of the chukar, and vie for access to the well's waters. Because of the high value of well-front business property, this is a great district for haggling, bribery, or exchange of favors because it is certainly a buyers market. Those who reside here are more middle-class and well off than the northern districts, usually residing in adobe huts, apartments, or occasionally walled garden manors.
