Meanwhile, he is focused on the disaster that is Kazuhn City. With half the city standing empty and another quarter burned to its foundations in the great fire of 4702 ar, Kazuhn City feels more like a ghost town than a prefecture’s capital. Most of what remains—counting houses, feed lots, granaries, and warehouses—exists to support the flow of grain, produce, and meat from Kazuhn into Oppara. A shadow economy of drug smuggling operates from the extensive empty portions of the city. Kazuhn City’s guard is unusually large and well-armed, but seems incapable of staunching the steady movement of flayleaf and unusual liquors. As Chief Warden Almoril Tersian is fond of saying, //“There are simply too many holes for vermin to crawl into.”// | + | Corwyn, Duke of Carthinia, and said fiancée, has his own issues.

| In Fever Dream Alley. A tangle of plank-and-rope bridges crisscross several stories above this narrow, trash-strewn alley. Shiver addicts—including those currently slumbering in the street—have transformed the alley into a makeshift flophouse, which terminates at a hovel sheltering a rusted potbelly stove. There are three shiver addicts here, Reynaldo, Langston and Nomi. As the group approaches Langston is already in the clutches of the shiver’s sleeping effects and occasionally twitches in discomfort. The other two are intoxicated but conscious. They seem only half-awake, continuously snapping their heads around to stare at unseen phantasms or agitatedly picking invisible bugs off each other’s clothing and flicking them toward the stove’s open door. | In Fever Dream Alley.
