Charhollow
This crowded district is home the bulk of the workforce of the city- servants, dockers, sailors, stockyard and eelery workers, cabbies and so on. It's cheap, noisy, cramped, and sweltering from cookfires and hissing seem pipes, but theres a familial camaraderie among its residents that you won't find anywhere else. The people of Charhollow are a true community, brought together by circumstance, but bound by ties of mutual support and care in stark contrast to the cutthroat ruthlessness that constitutes business as usual in the rest of the city.
The streets are lined with tall ramshakckle apartments, groups of people cook and eat together at communal cook fires whilst children run wild playing games like hunt-and-peak and catch-the-ghost. As the labourers return from work they shout greetings to friends and families travelling to and from houses stacked on top of one another and from well worn taverns and public houses.
