Scumtown

You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

While the quote above could certainly apply to all of Menzo, it is perhaps even more true when talking about Scumtown, the humanoid ghetto of Menzo. Located in the south-east corner of the dark elf city, Scumtown is a claustrophobic place, due to it's narrow streets, the 3-4 stories buildings everywhere and the fact that 20.000 orcs, goblins and other assorted races live here, on a very, very small area. There are literally people everywhere, and it is hard to walk down a smaller street without constantly bumping into people, without constantly being accosted by vendors, beggars and whores.

Scumtown is filled with noises, with smells. It is a place where you can almost taste the struggle of every soul you find there, you can almost hear the anguish in people's voices. This is where all the humanoid slaves of Menzo go, when they are not working the fields or killing for the noble houses. It is a brutal place, as the dark elven masters care little what happens to their slaves. After all, there are plenty to go around, and should they need it, they can always get more.

While there are no dark elven guards in Scumtown, at least not on a regular basis, that doesn't mean the dark elf masters do not know what goes on down there. Their iron grip is as tight as ever on the lesser races. But yet, they allow for three guilds of sorts to control the day-to-day rutines of Scumtown.

The Nightravens, The Red Skulls and The Shadowknives all fight for supremacy in Scumtown. And they do it brutally and without mercy. No one has dared oppose them, and no one interferes with their brutal way of life.
