West Scar (District)

This district is so named because it lies upon the slope of the western Scar, the network of gorges that weave through the city. It houses most of the embassies and nonessential government offices as well as lawyers and other white-collar industries. The district dips down into the Scar, giving it a wave-like appearance and terracing business fronts to the very edge of the Scar itself, with some buildings teetering over the edge. Bridges between buildings are common and iron and concrete are regularly used for construction, giving it a very unique appearance.

This district notably houses the Surket City Review, the most popular newspaper in Surket. The paper delivers to the entire city daily, and is the only free regular newspaper in the world. The Review is owned by the Edelon family, but most agree that it is generally fair with its journalism. The Edelon family itself is notorious for its regular humanitarian efforts and charitable acts. Even the newspaper's intended purpose is to keep the public informed. Elijah Edelon, the patriarch and Consul for the Council of Surket, personally invited the Society for Ethical Necromantic Arts (SENA) to Surket and funded their hospital. He also funds the Obdurate Heights Orphanage in Longwall and regularly hosts charity drives for various humanitarian programs.

While the district might be a hustle and bustle of activity during the day, the real action occurs at night. The diplomats, lawyers, and businessmen regularly host lavish parties where they make diplomatic and business deals. The rich and the powerful conduct their intrigue behind the doors of the embassies and penthouses that dot the district, and spies are a common occurence.
