Undercity Entrance

The undercity beneath the Ghetto is a comfortable run of warrens, cellars, small passageways, and smaller doors that the kobolds find quite congenial, and many of their taverns, bedrooms, shops, and dire weasel kennels are underground. Visitors rarely enjoy these confined quarters, and all of them complain about the vaguely reptilian musk. Kobolds apparently find it homey.
The Ghetto also connects to the Cartways at numerous places and to the River Derry, which flows not far from its walls. Unknown to most humans, though, it connects to another, much larger city: the kobold metropolis of Lillefor. Although fully 140 miles away, a brisk trade flows between Lillefor and the Ghetto, with mostly foodstuffs, wines, and wooden goods descending and metalwork, ore, and enchanted works—such as carrion beetle armor and everlit lanterns—ascending.
This undercity is where the kobolds’ other great profession— smuggling—is practiced most openly. Wines, silks, spices, black lotus, and poppywine are all heavily taxed, but not when they arrive on kobold mules, caravan beetles, or courier lizards through Lillefor. Ghetto merchants are happy to cut the taxman out of these transactions entirely, and the soldiers of the Citadel and gentlemen of the Watch have (so far) declined to pursue the matter.
