Slumtown

IACTA

^{Residential borough - lower class, slum, shady, sprawling, no guard presence.}
Slumtown is located in the eastern center of the Melting Pot, and is bordered by Mug'Gurub to the north, the Muckfishery to the east, Dusktown to the south, and Springflood to the west. It lies on a ridge of dunes running from the hilled Warrens to the cliffs of Noble's Court, with its elevation rising sharply in the west, then gradually dropping going to the shore in the east. The quality of the buildings follows this pattern as well, with lower class residence in the western dune ridge, slowly transforming into slums and shantytown as it nears the coast. Streets go from worn cobblestone to dirt and sand, and shacks are build upon shacks, clotheslines hung between them. Sinkholes occur from time to time, ranging from small holes in the ground to swallowing buildings whole into the Undercity. Every once in a while a sinkhole is still visible, darkness gaping deep below. More often than not, new buildings are simply build on top of the debris, or over the sinkhole should it not be filled up. These sinkholes at times add a risk of releasing whatever was contained there if the debris does not fill up the hole.
