The Pit

One of the twenty districts that make up the city of Valinova. It is ranked eleventh in terms of affluence.
== Description ==
On the outskirts of Valinova resides The Pit, the mouth of a mining district where various ores are harvested from the subterranean. Deep tunnels that wind endlessly beneath the city are stripped by a steady supply of hardworking individuals while the banks of the river are panned for gold by those hoping to get lucky and strike it rich. Characterized by the impromptu and transient nature of those that once worked and moved to the grounds of this area, makeshift camps and pop-up shops line the edges of The Pit’s borders despite its longevity. Few work The Pit for an extended amount of time, as the dangerous working and substandard living conditions drive away those with weak hearts and wills. Those that stick it out make fair wages, however, and the mining industry as a whole is a wealthy one for those at the top of it. Citizens of this district have a reputation for being short-tempered and curt to those outside the industry, but those that share bunks and break bread together in the mines have formed a tight-knit community amongst themselves. The waters around The Pit suffer from runoff and the pollution of its workers bathing and otherwise polluting the river with their bodies, which has led to several outbreaks of disease over the years in their camps. Those without direct business to be at The Pit seldom come to the area.
