Refugee Slum

The Refugee Slum was a notorious shantytown in the city of Stormwind, established shortly after the Great Cataclysm of 623KY by refugees displaced by the climactic shifts. The destruction of the former Park Destrict left a large expanse of land damaged and unused, and filled with unstable ruins - ruins which swiftly became the raw ingredients for the crude, ramshackle homes of the refugees. A large proportion of the slum swiftly came to be composed of those Gilneans who felt unwelcome in Kaldorei lands and sought refuge in human-held lands, leading to an extremely high prevalence of Worgen in the slums. Many of these Gilnean expatriates were either involved in criminal activity or struggling with quasi-feral states, and the slum swiftly became known as the single most violent area of the capital, with six to seven murders nightly being a common rate, and routine violent clashes between gangs, 'packs', and the Stormwind City Guard.
Today, it remains a poor and crime-ridden area of the city, but it has undergone significant growth and development. Many of the shanties have been replaced with stable, if still basic and somewhat crude, homes and businesses, and the poorest residents have either been taken in by Church missions or have died (many of them in the tuberculosis epidemic brought by the Gilnean expatriates; others of the harsh winters since the Cataclysm.) The prospects of the slum remain poor, but the gradual diminishing of the initially heated anti-refugee political climate promises further improvements and the slow domesticization of the formerly wild and untamed complex of shacks and ruins.
