Fishtown

Fishtown is the bustling hub of Churchwall. Situated just off of the harbor, sandwiched between Midtown and the Sky District, Fishtown is Churchwall's boots on the ground. Shops, taverns, inns, markets all cram into Fishtown's nooks and crannies. A sailor can find a bite to eat and a dry bed for the night, and lose the rest of his wages in a game of cards.

Architecture

Fishtown is used to building and rebuilding. Much of Fishtown is timber framed buildings with wattle and daub, plastered inside. The closer to the harbor, the more likely a building will have a raised threshold, or even be raised up on a timber framework, without any ground floor at all, due to the likelihood of flooding. Nearest the harbor, most buildings are raised enough that the undersides are often used as seasonal stables or temporary warehouse space.
Recently there has been an uptick in using bamboo imported from Savagar as a supplemental construction material, but opinions are divided due to claims that the bamboo can carry the zombie virus because it was once alive, essentially becoming undead bamboo. This assertion has been supported by individuals who claim to have grown new bamboo shoots from imported bamboo.
