When
Cragmire Lake turned foul,
Cragmire's modest fishing industry fled the town, leaving a wake of empty warehouses and bankrupted fishers. Some of these warehouses became stockades for mine managers, packed with raw ore and letters fo credit from
Cloudbreach and beyond. Others fell to ruin and became infested with squatters and addicts. Jalek's Flophouse, situated on Front Street within smelling distance of the lake, is the town's most famous warehouse, as it houses nearly a hundred pitiful indigents fighting off destitution with a handfull of copper. A rotting wooden framework within supports a lurching, mazelike second floor, where every step brings an alarming creak and the walls thrum with muffled conversation. Lodging is 5 coppers a night, paid to a massive, helmeted mute named
Golot. The brute pummels those who do not pay until they flee or die. No one has an address at Jalek's--the room yo have is the room you can keep. Most rooms lack doors, let alone locks, but the shifting inhabitants and the chaotic layout of the upper floor makes it one of the best places to disappear in all of
Cragmire. The landlord
Jalek lives in a rooftop apartment and is seldom seen. The Otarrtine flagellant
Jierian Wierus frequently visits the flophouse, where he recruits a growing tide of converts.
