Poor Town
Poor Town is a ramshackle district which has grown up on the mainland outside the city walls. It is, as the name suggests, where the poor of the city live. One inn, the Traveller's Rest, welcomes travellers to the city.
Poor Town, the makeshift appendage to the grandeur of Lucar City, is a stark reminder of the social disparities within the empire.
Centerpiece: The inn known as the Traveller’s Rest stands as a beacon of hospitality amidst the squalor, offering meager comfort to weary travelers and locals alike.
Architecture: The dwellings are predominantly shanties, cobbled together from scavenged wood, stone, and metal. The structures lean precariously, as if sharing the burden of their inhabitants’ lives.
Streets: Muddy and unpaved, the streets of Poor Town are more like irregular tracks marked by the passage of feet and carts, often pooling with rainwater and refuse.
Atmosphere: The air carries a mix of odors from cooking fires, livestock, and the tang of the sea, tinged with the less pleasant scents of poverty.
Inhabitants: The residents are a mix of the downtrodden, the hopeful, and the opportunistic, all striving to survive on the fringes of society.
Commerce: Makeshift markets spring up, where bartering is more common than the exchange of coins. Goods are basic necessities, often secondhand or of dubious origin.
Community: Despite the hardships, there’s a sense of community among the residents. They share what little they have and support each other against the harshness of their environment.
Poor Town is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, where even in the shadow of the city’s walls, life persists with a gritty determination.
