Cross District

This district is named for a giant structure, known as the Cross (due to its cross-like shape), that stands about 15 stories tall near the northern part of the district. This is the poorest part of Old Vashton; the streets are cramped and narrow, filled with tall buildings which all look like they are due to fall over at anytime. The sanitation is poor here, with few outhouses and almost no open areas, and the streets are dark due to the overhanging buildings. Many people call this area Little Yister due to the fact that many gnomes moved here after they were forced to leave Yister following the Duthgarian Civil War. This angers many residents of The Cross, since before the war Yister was know as Yarbeck, and thus this is considered a form of mocking the Gnomes who were disgraced and displaced even further, but the name sticks. House Jorasco is quite visible here, as they provide large amounts of food and water relief, as well as medical treatment. However, House Kundarkak also has some presence here in the form of golem workshops and the places which create clockwork objects.
