Rafted Slum

Osten is for the most part a city built on stilts, but some parts of the city are built to a different arrangement. One district, called the Rafted Slum, is built on tethered rafts. The buildings built upon these rafts periodically fill with water when unusually strong tides rise higher than the tethers allow. Most of these floating buildings have beenabandoned for more stable methods, but some still endure. The Rafted Slum is a collection of old decaying raft houses and dilapidated boats, some beneath the stilts of modern Osten. Many of these structures house rogues and criminals, and the occasional swamp monster. Efforts to eliminate the Rafted Slum have rarely met with any noticeable success.
