Southside

Southside is the colloquial name for the southern district of Lithmore City. It can be accessed, from west to east: via Tavern Road, via South Road, via King's Concourse, via Park Street, or via Flairkin Road if one goes south through the Tubori Quarter.

Southside is a desperate, lawless district continually in the grip of poverty. The Great Flood of SC 354 reduced it to only about a thousand survivors, but many refugees who lost all they had in the very same Flood ended up forced to move there as well, and by the current time it numbers several thousand inhabitants once more.

The Brotherhood of Common Goods has a near-stranglehold over the area, and it is patrolled continually by their thugs. These thugs usually call Southside their own home, and will passionately fight to keep out those they consider to not belong: Reeves, Knights and Knights-to-be, gentryfolk and nobles. Others are typically allowed to go unmolested, and the Thieves can supposedly grant safe passage on a case-to-case basis.

The danger in the area typically makes it an unwise idea for Knights or Reeves to investigate in Southside, and it is common for crimes that happen there to go unreported and unsolved unless they concern damage or danger to Northside citizens as well.
