Overtown

The former slum of Overtown, located across the High Bridge on the opposite bank of the Green River from Highbridge. It was destroyed during recent battles that concluded with the occupation of Highbridge by The Hate Incarnate. All that remains is rubble.

Historical Notes

On the other side of the Green River from the Old City is Overtown. Overtown tends to be a little rougher than the proper city of Highbridge. All the elements of the city can be found here: inns, taverns, merchants and shops. The Polonians tend not to patrol Overtown very often. Instead, in cases where there is sufficient trouble, a squad or more or Legionnaires will make an incursion and attempt to stomp out any undesirable elements.

Places of Note

• The Rusty Spigot - A tavern in Overtown offering food, drinks, and rooms. Owned by Grenn (Grenn is dead). The Knot conducts Guild activities above, behind and below the main tavern room.
• The Last Chance - On the opposite side of the main street running through Overtown from The Rusty Spigot, The Last Chance sells all sorts of goods.  It is a fence, a pawnshop, and a legitimate business all rolled into one.

Organizations Of Note

• The Knot - Rumors abound about a shadowy organization that runs Overtown. They provide very lax security, but are very likely to mete out retaliatory, vigilante punishments to protect women, children, the innocent and their own. Adult men are left to fend for themselves, with the exception of particularly despicable activities.
