The Slums

The Slums - is a District Area in Maadoran.

Intro

You arrive at the infamous Maadoran Slums, greeting only by an oppressive silence settling around you. Filth-clad figures pay you little notice as they paw through refuse piled against dilapidated buildings, yet you can feel hostile eyes watching you from the shadows.

You're keenly aware that even the Guard have long since chalked this place up as a loss. Their patrol routes avoid the squalid maze of collapsed buildings and make-shift shelters. The only authority in here is the Thieves' Guild.

You can just make out their headquarters in the distance - the shattered dome of the High Temple, an everlasting mockery that serves as a reminder of this district's fall from its former grandeur.

Lore

A maze-like miles-long district avoided even by guards. It's that proverbial rock-bottom you'll end up at when you make too many wrong choices. Ages ago it was a nice and quiet temple district. Since then the temple was raided and almost destroyed, and what's left of it changed hands many times, until the thieves guild decided to move in, controlling the entire district from there.
