Rickety Village

Rickety Village
An ugly floating conglomeration of ships, boats, buoys and anything else that floats out beyond the fifth swell. The only suburb of the Rainy City, Rickety Village is a dark, damp and ugly place. Populated with murderers and other criminals that would most likely be killed on sight in the city proper, the Rickety Village takes all kinds, literally. The dark, shoulder-wide wooden alleyways, squeezed between various wood and canvas shacks teetering precariously as the lashed and nailed together ships rock, wave tossed past the sixth swell are as dangerous and deadly places as one could find in or out of the Rainy City. Luckily for the city’s good citizens, the village is a ramshackle affair at best and often falls completely apart, only to be rebuilt again within a year or two. The repairs and rebuilding seems to keep the inhabitants of the village busy enough to avoid coming back to the city and creating more havoc
