Dunslough

Dunslough is a ghetto for the destitute poor of the city, as well as the site of Ironhook Prison and its labor camp. Originally, the ghetto was a neighborhood for families of prisoners, but over the years, extreme poverty and neglect have worn it down into a sodden ruin. A vicious cycle plays out here: crime driven by desperation, then arrest, incarceration, and release back to Dunslough—giving Ironhook an endless supply of laborers to exploit.

Details

Scene: Mud-covered laborers returning from the Mire. Destitute families scrounging for scraps along the roadway to the Barrowcleft farms. Bored Ironhook guards, rifles slung on their backs, watching a taskmaster lash a labor camp prisoner.

Streets: Cramped, multi-level—some of stone but many of dirt, sodden into thick black mud. No street names to be found.

Buildings: Decrepit wooden row houses, many abandoned from fire damage or fallen in from age. Stone silos, clanking steam machinery, and metal sheds for dredging equipment.
