Wrongway

Wrongway was a ramshackle prospector town on the shores of the Sea of Gold in Assail. Situated in a swamp, indefensible location, the town's original inhabitants were driven off by mobs of foreign fortune hunters.
Lying Gell was the self proclaimed Baron of Wrongway, choosing the town's new name for his own amusement. He ruled with the help of about 300 toughs and strongarms and they collected docking fees as one source of revenue.Assail (novel), Chapter 8
The town was largely made up of tents and its muddy streets were filled with the bodies of the dead and the inebriated. Its primary industries were selling alcohol, selling prospecting supplies, and crime.Assail (novel), Chapter 8 There were an abundance of informal tent taverns.

When Cartheron Crust used the camp to recruit former Malazan soldiers, he also took the opportunity to liberate the town's treasury. In the chaotic aftermath, half the town burned down and Lying Gell was found knifed to death. Wrongway was largely abandoned and the treasure hunters moved on to join the siege of the nearby settlement of Mantle.Assail (novel), Chapter 9
