La Rouille

Player Description

Much of Le Carrousel is poor, but although entire blocks of the city are burned out, despite people squatting in mansions collapsing from decay and casual destruction, notwithstanding the random bouts of mania and panic that grip the people packed into the city, members of other districts possess one critical thing: hope.

Not so in La Rouille.

Something happened when the Gray Gardeners put the Pathfinder Society's library to the torch -- something uncanny. For months that extended into years, nobody would even poke their noses into the 'Lost Library', Bibliothèque Perdue; the place was too eerie, as if it were a predator waiting for something unwary to cross its path.

What became worse is that this malaise has slowly spread beyond the library's boundaries, seeming to drain the hope, the spark, the will to live from everything that dwells within what is now called 'the Blight'. Cats, rats, dogs, people, only the truly desperate spend the night in La Rouille; only the truly despondent live there. The violence level of La Rouille is the lowest in the city; the suicide rate more than makes up for it.
