This is where the poor of the poor live. It used to be outside of the walls, but about twenty years ago the Shantyfolk found a savior in the name of a berserking Dwarf Clangden, who gave money to the poor and orphans to ease his conscience for questionable deeds he committed while adventuring. His last act for the poor in Plateau City was to build a city wall around Shanty Town. The Council of Lords followed this act of mercy by officially recognizing Shanty Town as an official quarter of Plateau City, giving its occupants voting and citizen rights. Clangden left the city, after this grand gesture, to guard a main entrance into the Wold Below in eastern Culverwood.

Not so long ago, this was the Shanty Quarter, a place of poverty, squalor, and misery. Its two saving graces were a small shrine to Alemi, and a protective wall built by retired adventurer Clangden.

The shanties, however, were leveled during the Fae King uprising, an event which also sharply reduced the overall population of Plateau City. Survivors were able to find lodging in the city proper, and the old shantytown was abandoned. Now, it has been converted into a peaceful, well-kept cemetery honoring the city's dead. Clangden's wall still protects the area.
