Tiny alleyways around a large water filled crater where the poor live
The Maze is a small city of its own right, filled with tiny alleys, roof-ways, and other paths. It is incredibly easy to get lost in the chaos and the place is filled with beggars and thieves. The area is best avoided by anyone who values their coin and their lives.
After The Siege, a large part of the Maze is now a massive lakeas it was sunken down and the river swept in to fill it up. Several large mills are being constructed to pump the water out
Despite being a bad neighbourhood, the area's paths are lined with small patches of flowers and young trees, planted as part of beautifying the city and providing natural drainage to the lower area's which are prone to flooding. They haven't solved all of the area's problems but at least they look quite nice.
The cramped conditions mean that during the rains, the maze can and does flood. It's a dangerous place to be after dark and now with the new flood of elven refugee's. There are slowly "no go" area's developing.
