Silkshore

Criss-crossed by dozens of narrow canals, Silkshore is a district best navigated by gondola, as most visitors to this “red lamp district” do. The brothels, vice dens, food stalls, and exotic shops all perch at the waterside, ready to satisfy the appetites of their clientele, no questions asked. Silkshore is a place of public indulgence and private indelicacy, catering to every pleasure imaginable—as well as some that strain the bounds of fantasy.

Details

Scene: Hundreds of gondolas glide to and fro in the spiderweb of canals, carrying eager patrons to the bounty of pleasure houses and vice dens. Artists and philosophers arguing epistemology over Iruvian tea at the cafes on Fogcrest hill.

Streets: The few remaining surface streets are interrupted at every turn by a bridge over a tiny canal. Colored lights and patterned silks hang roof to roof, signaling various indulgences in a complex code for the initiated. Greenwater, Highwater, Chimewater, Ringwater, Sweetwater.

Buildings: Tall, narrow rowhouses of wood and stone. Low canal-side shacks and stalls. Cramped old stone houses and converted offices on Fogcrest hill.
