Bear Wedge

Bear Wedge is a neighborhood in Tighsley, Norrilund, occupying the wedge of developed land between Tighsley Marsh and the Crowmount. The wedge is bounded by Outer Halding Road on the east and Crowfoot Road on the west, and widens from north to south. It is a poor, high-crime area with only adequate police coverage, and that is dedicated to protecting the legitimate businesses and middle class homes along the high streets. These houses are mostly new and have some of the modern amenities, like heated water, steam heating, and indoor plumbing.
This is an immigrant neighborhood, with various populations living in tenements built either a few decades ago and quickly gone to seed, or ancient old houses that have stayed up more as an act of insolent will than decent engineering. These rookeries are often specific to nationality or race. Bear Wedge is heavily populated with poor Ust, Dalkhrovan, Tashakdan and Kaspari immigrants. Each group have their own gangs and sections of the neighborhood.
Industry is heavy here, much of it crowded out to the edges of Norrilund in the last few decades to try and clean up the city environment. Much of the heavy industry is located on the narrow strip of land between Outer Halding Road and the marsh. The turnover rate at these dark, satanic mills is high, and former employees are frequently rehired for a period when need for labor spikes.
