Hive Tertium - Habzone HL-70-04, "The Carnival": Tertium's Habzone HL-70-04, colloquially called by its residents "The Carnival," and "The Pit" by the hive city's Enforcers during those rare times they make an appearance there, is effectively a massive lower hive slum. The district is over-populated, close-packed and riven with poverty and grim conditions, with little Enforcer presence. As a result, it is semi-lawless. The disreputable nature of the place means it is a notorious area for red-light entertainments -- and that's its appeal. The Carnival is the place where Tertium residents go to find a brief respite from the hardships of their lives and to engage in certain vices like drugs, gambling and prostitution. The Carnival is attractive in a very degenerate way, vivid and dirty, always promising transgressive thrills to the hive city's downtrodden citizens.For instance, a skilled brawler may find their ticket out of the lower hive's grinding poverty by participating (willingly or not) in fighting pits. The glory is short-lived, however, as such constant blood lust soon corrupts and marks the path to damnation. Another may strike gold with a lucky roll of the dice -- though the chances of making it out alive with the winnings are slim, as The Carnival houses its own bogeymen and usually Human monsters stalking the backstreets.Bars are particularly dangerous places in the district, as those who pass out in a drunken stupor may soon find themselves in the hands of a devoted murdercult. Then there are the criminal gangs who truly control the district and are always looking to expand their influence over The Carnival's various rackets and establishments. Any visitors who clearly do not belong or do not look like they can protect themselves should expect to get mugged, or like much worse.Because of the district's reputation as a centre of vice and sin, over the solar decades many zealots of the Imperial Creed have been known to unleash bloody personal crusades through the den of depravity that is the Carnival District. From the self-righteous murderer known only as the "White Shadow" stalking the alleyways to the renegade noblewoman Amelia Barquette's assault on the district's illegal stimm factories, even those who supposedly seek to spread the Emperor's light only add to the violence, exploitation and inhumanity that already consumes the Carnival.Once the Admonition and later, the Moebian 6th Regiment, began to spread their influence in Tertium's lower levels, the Carnival district became a hotbed for a highly lucrative illicit stimm trade where the Traitoris Militarum regiment's corrupted guardsmen, the "Scabs," served as the new suppliers from a recently established Heretic stronghold within the district. And of course, each dose of the illegally-distributed stimms was tainted with Nurgle's various infectious "gifts" such as the Walking Pox, serving as yet another vestor for the spread of the Plaguelord's influence through the hive.The district's citizens are suspected of being supporters or at best neutral parties to the Traitors' cause prior to the start of the Admonition's rebellion and so are considered fair game for liquidation by the operatives of the Inquisition.
