Located on the southern edge of the city in the Westedge Ward, the Smelting Row is home to a number of industries, including a growing number of Manufactories. Originally home to tanners, smelters, and other occupations that assault the senses, the ward has grown as the city has grown.  Many of the streets are dirty, and some buildings show signs of neglect. Though this district is no slum like the Warrens, squatters live in abandoned warehouses and mills, and muggers lurk in alleyways to prey upon workers.  A large number of desperate people, namely refugees, work here for a pittance. 

There are signs of newer buildings, and more under construction, sign of the growing influence of the Order of the Gorgon in the neighborhood. Several older, unused buildings bear their mark as well, signs of their plans for expansion and growth into magical and alchemical manufactoring.
