The Lower District of Myras consists of a population ridden with impoverished conditions, their infrastructure is an immediate sign of this. Those who travel to this region will witness many unfixed fractures in the roads and deserted buildings. An extensive mining operation that took place many decades ago has caused this area to be very unstable. Occasional earthquakes that rip up the buildings and infrastructure of the Lower District are a result of this. The general populace of this district believe that socialism could be a solution to fixing many of the issues between the rich and the poor, a contrast which is heavily noticeable. The ground in this region remains infertile, which contributes to an increase of crime. A band of artisans currently holds the power in the Lower District, negotiating with them will be key to conquer this region. They believe a large part of the districts problems is due to large refugee camps, who were migrated to the district with the promise of job availability. |
For the better part of a year, part of Myras had remained under the control of Penumbral Guard. Alas, Penumbral guard was no more, and understandably so, their influence went up in smoke practically overnight... Quite frankly, Alisa had waited a bit too long before having blue Pegasus seize the reins on the now abandoned parts of town, left to their own devices:
"I can only imagine what manner of people must have seized the reins in the meantime...", mused the sculptress, running her hand down her long, silky soft hair, looking left than right as her eyes slowly came to rest on the squalor of the poorest part of town, her brow twitching in visible annoyance at the notion that somebody could have allowed it to the get this run down.
Knowing she was heading to the poorest parts of the city, Alisa made sure not to dress up so as to not aggravate the residents, yet even there, her careful, stylishly chosen outfit provided a stark contrast from the rags worn by some of the citizens nearby:
"Doesn't look like they've done the area any favours...", mused the sculptress, thinking back to the information she had. Apparently the artisans were by far the most powerful group in the lower district, so whatever solution she could find would have to go through them in one way or the other. Thankfully, Alisa wouldn't have to do this alone.
