Carnival District

Carnival District
The district of entertainment...

The entertainment hub of Filth, it is also one of the richest districts in the city. The district began as waste space between the Maze, Wharf, Wine, Furrier and one other district. Over time, it was developed into a minor district by the Angry Jester. Under the crazy rule of the Mad Fool, the district became a Major district, hence receiving a full vote in the vote for war. It is the district for runaways, vagabonds and performers, all attempting to entertain the rabid, unruly crowds that attend the shows.

Quote
“...as soon as I hedged my position, he took my warning and did the same. Too many easy ears in the gallery. He told us that he sees both sides of the coin—trouble and sorrow during a long, slow war, but possible prosperity if Filth prevails quickly. He also told us that, in the end he’ll vote the way Wine votes.”

Method of Execution
