Craftsmans District

The Craftsmans District arose from the poverty-ridden ruins of the once fashionable Patten district. It's a trade district that catered to King Jonathan V's warmongering efforts and is left floundering now that peace has arrived. It actually only takes up a little over half of the previous district, the rest having been swallowed by the Lower City to the west.

Because Tortall is now a peaceful realm, there is no longer a need for accelerated production of arms, armor, and war tack for horses. The smiths and tanners of the district, though currently well-off, are struggling to keep up the lifestyle that popped up due to their advanced income during the wars. Many are moving out, and a good deal of them have had to foreclose, their success wholly dependent upon the war income.

The Lower City has begun to infringe upon the edges of the district, and the Rogue's been knocking on doors, making deals with the needy tradesmen in exchange for continued prosperity. A fact that has not gone unnoticed by the Guard, who have taken to patrolling the Craftsmen District day and night - aside from the Lower City and Highfields, the Craftsmen District is one of the most heavily patrolled areas of Corus. It's also been the site of several riots and numerous Dog-Rogue altercations. Kennel and the Dogs== an eventual detailing of the set-up of the Craftsmans District Dog kennel.
