Social Class: Lower
Character: Ugly, stacked buildings appear to have been tumbled into place after a great earthquake, and rickety bridges lead across deep chasms that lead into the warrens below.
District Type: Slums
Buildings: Poor residences, poor lodgings, poor trades, poor services, temples
First Impressions: The people of this ward are dressed in dirty, patchwork rags cobbled together from other pieces of clothing. No one stops in the streets, every person hurring along their way, and staying out of the way of the large wagons carrying corpses surrounded by Collectors.
Ragpicker’s Square lies at the edge of the Hive Ward and is bordered by the black walls of the Mortuary. Here, the Dustmen and those who live off of the Dustmen make their trade and living, lending the area a bleak, funereal feeling.
