Smokestacks

To the east of Grievings rises the dirtiest and most polluted district in the city. Originally the site of the Academy of Engineers, the Smokestacks district has evolved whole industries devoted to supporting the academy, from wire-spinners to foundries. Smokestacks is also home to Crossings’ undesirable trades, including dyers, tanners, and slaughterhouses. The place is unsettling to newcomers, for its atmosphere is thick with chemical odors mingled with smoke and rot. The streets are befouled with blood, chemicals, and filth, while forge fires paint everything in a garish light.
