Feast is the area just outside of
Famine . While not formally a city, as it has no governing body, its population exceeds that of Famine by a large margin. It is more or less run by a combination of the gangs, merchant groups and the
Starvers.
The city is constantly under attack from monsters and outside organizations seeking to either capture or simply eat the ones who live there.
Most of the population either was born there, does trade with Famine, or is seeking entry into Famine.
Relationship with Famine
Feast exists, because Famine exists. That is the simple truth. Feast, over time, has gained its own sort of cultural identity. While many are here simply to interact with Famine, many others see Feast as their home, as see Famine as an ever encroaching threat to it. Whenever Famine expands, it takes over anything that was in the space it now covers. If this was your home, then you are now homeless. For this reason most opt to set up their hovels and shops a fair bit away from the actual barrier. Still, some see this area as an opportunity to live without much contest, no matter how short lived that may be.
As far as Famine is concerned, Feast is just a random collection of camps and shops, with no meaningful autonomy. It considers Feast either as a resource to be exploited, or just as often, a nuisance that must be dealt with.
