Leesward

Leesward is a district of Norrilund on the East Bank of the Saron River. Located directly across the river from Inwalls, Leesward was the first eastbank district to urbanize.
==Geography==
Three bridges (the Great Saron, the Lifting Bridge, and the Old Bridge) connect Leesward to Inwalls across the river. Adjacent to the river are the neighborhoods of Riverside and Leesward, which are rather poor and can be dangerous, especially in the rookeries at the south end of Leesward.
A steep escarpment separates the riverfront neighborhoods from Heart Hill and Cramwith. Cramwith is a middle-class neighborhood of orderly streets and tidy shopfronts, while Heart Hill is the center of Leesward's industry. The Heart Hill Iron Mine is the largest employer in the district, while the immense Hill Curve Brewery is an imposing structure on the northern flank of the hill. The southern slopes of Heart Hill make up the Tinkerside neighborhood, which is known for its numerous alchemists, experimenters, and inventors; rarely a week goes by in Tinkerside without some explosion or gas leak.
Behind Heart Hill is the Elmwild, one of the most mysterious features in Norrilund. The ancient haunted wood of overgrown elm trees and vines resists all attempts to civilize it; while developers have managed to raze a few copses around its edges to build upon, the center of the small wood remains as wild as ever.
East of the Elmwild are the middle-class neighborhoods of Champney and Niblick. Champney is a run-down yet welcoming neighborhood of small tenements and houses, while Niblick is notable for the Niblick Railyards that handle a good deal of freight coming from the docks in Ainsword.
