Slum City

The West harbor District, more commonly known as Slum City, is located along the westernmost shore of the lower portion of Surket and is a part of the Old City. It borders the Veridian Sea to the west and north, and spills into the Slave Market to the east and the Scar to the south. The district is characterized by the massive slum city that fills much of it, creating a massive maze of narrow paths, platforms, and bridges that only those who live there seem to be able to navigate. There are few permanent structures within this district, instead being filled with shanty houses made out of trash and waste materials. These houses often sit atop one another into these precarious towers that are just as liable to fall as they are to provide shelter. The remnants of permanent buildings are used as the framework for these buildings and are now the only remnant of evidence that this corner of the city was ever anything but what it is now.

The district is often plagued with disease and wracked with famine, offering little for any visitor to Surket and is therefore generally avoided by all but the desperate and the weary. It is a haven of crime and is controlled by gangs who all vie for control of the space and the favor of the controlling power, the Ipso Family. The family has a tight grip on the district and uses it to profit off the backs of the poor and meek. They move narcotics and other addictive drugs through this district to keep the population under their control and also play the gangs off of one another to ensure their dominance. They rarely visit the district personally, instead sending their goons down to threaten and bully the locals if things aren't running smoothly.
