The Wallow (STH)

The seediest part of Slow Tide is a pair of long, winding parallel streets -- known as the Street of False Hopes and the Street of Lowering Clouds -- and the many crooked alleyways that connect them. Known as the Wallow, the town's most disparaged aspects can be found here -- opium dens that operate openly, gaudy brothels that no honorable samurai would ever enter, the offices of predatory moneylenders, and inns that are little more than filthy hovels for the poor and hopeless. The name was originally an insult from a long ago Crane Emerald Magistrate: "This is where the scum come to wallow in their sins." It was adopted by the residents as an ironic tribute.
Those who come to Slow Tide in search of trade go to the Dockside or the Merchant District. Those who wish to indulge their sordid desires come to the Wallow.
