Dead Zone
The Dead Zone represents the oldest and most deteriorated district within the city's sprawling urban expanse, a labyrinthine quarter where crumbling tenements tower alongside abandoned warehouses and industrial ruins. Once a thriving mercantile hub during the city's golden age, the district fell into decay following the Great Fire of 1247, after which the wealthy merchants relocated their operations to safer neighborhoods, leaving behind a vacuum of opportunity for criminal enterprises. Today, the Dead Zone serves as a haven for smugglers, thieves, and various underground organizations who exploit the warren of narrow alleys and forgotten substructures beneath the streets. The city's government has responded by establishing a heavy military presence throughout the district, with guard stations positioned at every major intersection and patrols moving constantly through the shadowed streets. Despite—or perhaps because of—this oppressive security apparatus, violence remains endemic, with turf wars between rival factions erupting regularly in the dead of night. The architecture tells a story of decline: weathered stone facades bear scorch marks from old fires, broken windows gape like hollow eyes, and graffiti in a dozen languages marks territorial boundaries. The few legitimate residents who remain are those too poor to escape, existing in a precarious balance between survival and the ever-present danger that surrounds them. Rumors speak of hidden passages and underground markets where anything can be bought for the right price, drawing adventurers and desperate individuals into its treacherous depths.
