Schlullk De
Raga walked dazed into Schlullk De looking around but not recognizing anything or anyone. Aùshe who was browsing a table full of cloth in the open-air market glanced at him before turning toward him with recognition.
Demographics
Mostly Humans live in this part of the city and all of them are either poor or on the verge of being able to move up in the world. Some Orcs also live in the district owning various businesses in the district. Dwarves live here too although there are fewer of them compared to the Orcs because they don't get along.
Government
Being apart of the bigger city of Nyiltokti the city was governed Bridt Schtricksüker but is now governed by Pfussäwinn Witts. Some the businesses do pay protection money to Fal Uafrúl a criminal organization that operates in the town of Der Roch in Schlullk Brasschwerch.
Defences
The main settlement is protected by De’s Neighborhood Watch with a chain-link fence being the only thing protecting them from monsters in Chirm Glezed, the abandoned Kwörzwonnsdt Oknochdt, and the Train Graveyard.
Industry & Trade
Quim Brear is the bar at the center of town and is the hottest spot in the district. The bar offers drinks, food, and some entertainment for people passing through or the people that live in De. Since most of the food is imported from the plates and other slums the prices can be steep during festivals and times of storage. Although some food does grow in De but not much because the ground is dry and a lot of the water that the common people use is poisoned. By the train station, there are some stalls that sell food or nicknacks in the hopes that a person from the plates will come and buy something. Most of what the district offers is recycled and refined metal and any other junk that can be cleaned up and sold. Recycled metal is also a big export for De since many of the Orcs and Dwarves that live there brave the wasteland outside of the settlement to get the metal. The clothing business even makes their cloth and sells their clothes to anyone that comes their way. They are some of the best independent designers in the city although they don't much traffic.
Infrastructure
Seven does waste processing and has large wells making De the biggest producer in water and processing. There is also a Train Graveyard in the district where trains are retired with various tracks crisscrossing the area outside of the town to get trains to the graveyard. There are some Pfussäwinn Witts Oknochdtö where a lot of people who don't work with the water work.
Assets
Scrap metal is one of the things that people will find and sell to businesses in town that are then cleaned up and recycled to be used in making various things that the people use such as water filters. Street vendors sell various stuff from fabric to recycled junk. There are food trucks or stalls near the train station that sell food to travelers that go up and down on the Wessdttrerppsch Klüe Fufdt Lenk. Other than scarp there are lots of wells throughout the district that sends clean water to the plates above with some going to wells that are used by the district and the other slums. The venue that keeps the local economy from collapsing is Quim Brear a bar and popular hangout in the area.
Guilds and Factions
A Kezedfrunch cell is based here no one knows where but the rumor has to be true. The Neighborhood Watch is also located above the weapon shop that supplies them with weapons and anyone else wants some extra protection. The watch protects the town and ensures that the communities' laws are being followed. Pfussäwinn Witts also has a presence in this part of town and their main focus is to make sure that the people from seven do not go to Schlullk Brasschwerʧ so anyone that wants to go either needs to pay a bribe or risk being caught in the Train Graveyard at night.
Tourism
Quim Brear the largest bar in this part of town that boasts the best cook and mixologist Aùshe. There are no places to stay in De except some rental lodging near the train station and Kitit Glentheinglego which is down the road from Quim Brear.
Architecture
Shipping containers, metal, and wooden houses some buildings are even stucco. All of the buildings are miss-matched and crammed against each other. Quim Brear is made up of wood and has more space around it serving as the center of town.
Geography
The town is under the upper distract that makes up one of the plates of Nyiltokti so most of the light that the distract gets is artificial from under the plate. The town is surrounded by a wasteland of junk mountains so the terrain is dusty even with all of the wells in the district which are mostly underground.
Nyiltokti Slums Mood Boards is where the inspiration for the slums will live. The board is private for the time being.
Natural Resources
De has the largest wells in the city it and most of the city's water comes from here.
Settlement Problems
Schlullk De is one of the eight slum districts of Nyiltokti so most of the people that live here are poor or choosing to live in worst conditions than what is on the plates above. One of the problems that have plagued De for years are Salamanders or the fire-lizard. When these lizards are not sunning themselves or sneaking into the Blacksmith's shop to warm up by the forge they are by the public wells. As the main supplier of water for the city, De has several wells but the public wells are the ones that the people from De use. When the Salamanders are by water they can grow in size and excrete a poison which makes the water toxic. Najel Ncasssekwa the owner of Quim Brear has expanded his business to also make, repair, and sell water filters that can filter out the poison. However, as a Dearmas Najel uses scrap metal that has been cleaned but sometimes the filters are not fully cleaned or good at filtering the poison. Mostly everyone agrees that rust-tasting water is better than water that outright kills. The Neighborhood Watch has pushed most of the salamanders to Chirm Glezed but they are still a problem. If the salamanders were not a problem enough for the Neighborhood Watch is the Drakes that have been flying over from the Train Graveyard. Since drakes are dangerous the Watch has told people to be mindful of small pets, children, and everyone else as drakes and pick up and fly off with fully grown humans. There are members of the Watch stationed at the gate that goes to the Train Graveyard to inform people of the drake problem and advice people to stay away. People and members of the watch who have firearms or other projectile weapons keep their eyes on the sky and if a drake is flying over they will try to shoot it down. The children at the Children's Center have been talking about Lobl Plarm who comes in the night and takes children from open windows and takes them to the Train Graveyard. They also say that if you get lost in the Train Graveyard at night or are playing nearby at night he will come and no one will see or hear from you again. Most adults don't put much thought into this childish story and have told their children not to pay attention to the rumor. Other parents lend into the story as a moral not to play outside at night because of all of the other dangers in De. Most Orcs believe that there is either an evil spirit or a Necromancer inside the Train Graveyard and are protective of the children in De which has caused more Orcs to volunteer to help at the Children's Center.Maps
