Aurumburg/Slums

The Slums of Aurumburg are the most run down, hastily built, and lowest class areas of Aurumburg. Mostly inhabited by workers not involved with the gold refining process, it has a wide variety of people and services to offer.

The buildings are Primarily made of leftover materials from other building projects, including scrap wood and broken stone. This leads to rugged looking buildings. Some of the "richer" citizens purchase higher quality materials for use in business fronts or primary residences. These buildings are of similar material, but have more consistent design. Buildings typically have wooden shingles on the roof. These buildings are often prone to fires.

The roads are essentially dirt paths, worn down by travel. When it rains, the roads get very muddy.

A single cobblestone paved road connects the main gate entrance on the eastern side of town to the gatehouse bridge crossing the river. This road is paved due to the high volume of traffic for import and export shipping. The bare minimum was paved for the road, leading to a circular path in the center of the Slums being half paved and half dirt.

History
Within the Slums, two factions began to emerge. One side stuck to the "bottom-feeder" nature of scavenging what they could get from the upper districts, while the other decided to break free and build the Slums up from the dirt, into a more respectable area.
