The Jumble

The Jumble is a vast, confusing maze of streets that rise upward and outward — some would say in mockery of the Capitol itself. It is easy to get lost in the Cradle — streets sink below ground and rise again to rooftop streets, taking a dozen ladders before continuing along a gable that ends at a bare wall, beyond which may lie the garret of a naga artist, a madman or cringing orphans.
The majority live here in cramped confusion to escape something — taxes and enemies, wives, lovers and Knockers. It houses a vast population of ne’er-do-wells and villains, as well as many common folk simply trying to make their lives a little richer. It is, in many ways, the safest place to be a villain; the nickname City of Thieves has long been associated with the Jumble, a place where it is very easy to get lost and come to harm.
Like the Capitol, the Jumble has its own streets, markets and laws. A local vigilante force patrols the streets at night, but foul things still make a home and hide here.
