Tooling Drive

Nightly brawls between rival publishing houses.

&

Pump Run Road

Buildings are stained gray by soot and pock- marked by attempts to chip the dirt away.

City Block Locations

This block is currently suffering from Rival Companies. A pair of highly competitive businesses have established themselves here. Rather than conduct business, they now wage vicious gang war.

The Slippery Plume

All of the windows have been stained yellow. Always new graffiti on the walls.

Shopkeep: Kingsley, ostentatious and loud. Does not accept money, only trades or barters, is actually a cat.

Inventory:
  • 1d3 expensive vials of ink
  • Deck of playing cards featuring famous scholars
  • 1d8 nuggets of resin, sticky and flammable
  • Opened can of “Griffon Glue,” made from real griffons
  • Contraband: Grift-Signet, a signet ring, its face is coated in a strange viscous metal that seems to dance and quiver.
  • Artifact: Skin Scroll. Curious vellum roll of masterwork quality, it is warm to the touch and seems to pulse faintly when held.

Hardboiled Consignment

Painted lines on the shop floor seem like a map of an underground system. Great prices, terrible quality.

Shopkeep: Jalmen Stone, tall and ominous. Smokes a pipe, is never seen to refill it.

Inventory:
  • Furnace Suit
  • Carry Straps
  • 10 feet of lead chain
  • Pry-bar
  • Street sign
  • Head Cheese
  • Contraband: Crucibleware, ceramic clay the color of oxidized iron, cool to the touch despite the temperatures around it.

Great Furnace

Dwarfing the surrounding buildings, a furnace of titanic proportions serves some grand and terrible purpose. The power needed to power it must be cataclysmic.

Be it a pyromancer circle or a bound demon, guilds of amateur mages and practitioners put theirs skills to use as laborers to keep it running. With such powerful magic, the area is prone to strange happenings...

Speck's Livery

A well-kept establishment with healthy creatures for sale. However, all of the animals come with dappled coats in strange patterns. These unique patterns cannot be found anywhere else in the city. Workers claim the animals take on such patterns because of the speckled beans fed to them.

This city eats people. Never forget that.
