Butcher District

Butcher District
“A lesson to us all...”—Duke Glass

The Butcher’s District was overthrown by their common folk only two seasons earlier, its royals dragged out onto the cobbles and hacked to pieces with their own ceremonial cleavers and fine leather robes. The children were not spared. Despite being surrounded by powerful districts such as Stone and Ivory, Duke Edgar Butcher and Duchess Edith were spitted alive on skewers and roasted over an open fire in the square, like pigs. There are even rumors that some of the crowd had eaten from their bodies. A horrifying end for one of the oldest families in Filth.

People

 * Duke Butcher - A criminal who has risen to power through the slaughter of royal families.
 * The pinch browed woman
 * Butcher families - Cleavers, Porcine, Skinners

Buildings

 * The Pig Palace - “...duel pink towers—the “pig’s ears”—rose over the peaked, beam–built houses of the Butcher merchants and the brick flat-roofed uphill homes of the massacred noble Butcher families. The “Snout” protruded from the face of the palace, a squat rounded monolith carved from a single rock outcropping sturdy enough to withstand a siege—a gift from the stonecutters of the Stone district when they’d been allied with the Butchers over one hundred years earlier.”


 * The Bronze Hog - The execution device of the Butcher district.

Quotes
”The day was bright and warm, but the streets were quiet, which didn’t bode well. It meant the good people of the Butcher District were still hiding from the year’s ongoing chaos. It also meant the day was dangerous out on the cobbles. Glass glanced about as they marched on. The famous oil lamps of the Butcher District were shattered. By roaming rogues who don’t want to be seen at night. A meat cart was overturned and dismantled, its wheels stolen. The street’s wide gutters, built for the gelatinous red waste of slaughterhouses, were dry and unused. This district has shut down.”

Method of Execution

 * Roasted alive in the copper pig.
