Geography: Plateau City: Nightmare Quarter
East of Rogue Quarter, in the east central part of Plateau City, Nightmare Quarter is the home of the worst rogues, criminals, assassins, and drunks in the city. The centerpiece of this district is Skull Cathedral, Temple of Marteaus. This temple sets the tone for the Nightmare Quarter. It’s evil stamp still surrounds the cathedral, in the form of the Skull Market where necromancers, witches, and rogues sell their wares. One can get a block or two away from the market and find all the illegal materials and practices such as poison, voodoo, curses, etc.
The counterpoint to the crowds of Skull Market is the usually abandoned streets surrounding The Scar which begins just east of The Black Cathedral and runs south for several blocks crossing Nightmare Road and ending just north of Castle Gate. This area is a stinking pile of rubble and rock cursed to remain in ruins forever by some unknown entity. It is also a spawning place of evil. At one time, The Raven Cult made this place its lair. Several other cult groups have also made it the entrance to their corrupted temples.
The most infamous hangout of Rogues throughout The Wold is a tavern and gambling house called “The Crypt” on Roulette Street.
Ffloy also has a secret temple in this quarter. As it moves around to main it’s secrecy, you’ll have to ask through the proper channels to find it.
