Wallow



The Wallow was the seediest part of Slow Tide Harbor. It was a pair of long, winding, parallel streets-known as the Street of False Hopes and the Street of Lowering Clouds-and the many crooked alleyways that connect them. There were found opium dens that operated openly, gaudy brothels, the offices of predatory moneylenders, and inns that were little more than filthy hovels for the poor and hopeless. The name was originally an insult from a long-ago Crane Emerald Magistrate ("this is where the scum come to wallow in thelr sins") and was adopted by the residents as an ironic tribute.
