The original town is where most of the industry is for Seagate and Carzala as a whole.
The original town is where most of the industry is for Seagate and Carzala as a whole.
As such it is a bustling town heavy with the smells from blacksmiths, tallow renderers and the fish markets, and the bulk of the town is given over to these manufacturers and cheap housing for workers and the shops that supply them. The southern end of the town near the river is one of the two exceptions to this as it has grown into a very high class suburb where the wealthy merchants live close to the source of their wealth. The other exception is to the north where Dedication Road forms a temple district. This well tended area is populated with a number of temples, mostly to the Gods that used to be worshipped in Seagate before the rise of the Church of Light. Since the arrival of Church Knights in Seagate around 798WK, many temples closed but the buildings are still in good condition and their grounds well cared for.

Parts of the district of Seagate City; Seagate, Old Seagate, New Seagate, Castle Chilton.

Seagate City 818WK: Click to zoom

The original town is where most of the industry is for Seagate and Carzala as a whole. As such it is a bustling town heavy with the smells from blacksmiths, tallow renderers and the fish markets, and the bulk of the town is given over to these manufacturers and cheap housing for workers and the shops that supply them. The southern end of the town near the river is one of the two exceptions to this as it has grown into a very high class suburb where the wealthy merchants live close to the source of their wealth. The other exception is to the north where Dedication Road forms a temple district. This well tended area is populated with a number of temples, mostly to the Gods that used to be worshipped in Seagate before the rise of the Church of Light. Since the arrival of Church Knights in Seagate around 798WK, many temples closed but the buildings are still in good condition and their grounds well cared for.

Misc

44 Seagate Abattoir
Situated just north of Old Seagate, the new (804wk) abattoir represents the latest in efficient design, processing over 3 times as many cows, sheep, goats, pigs, and other beasts as the three slaughter houses it replaced. Working in two shifts the workers are able to process over 100 beasts per day, with onsite cool storage for over 60 carcases buyers can be assured that their meat is fresh.
The main building is 100 feet long and up to 60 feet wide, holding pens and ramps are at the northern end of the facility, a cool room (maintained by Seagate Ice Mages) is next to the sales room at the southern end, and barracks for the workers are to the east.
45 Relles Park's Fertiliser and Pet Food
Situated just north of Old Seagate, Relles runs a small store supplying Seagate citizens with petfood and local gardeners with a pungent but highly effective fertiliser for their gardens.
46 Master Ji's Fighting Arts School
Located in a former warehouse on the Old Seagate Docks, Master Ji's Fighting Arts School teaches armed and unarmed combat to a variety of students. Master Ji is a slightly built male human in his 60's, a retired sailor and merchant who claims to have come originally from Saktekorum in the Five Sisters, but his dark complexion and odd accent suggest that there may be more to this story.

47 Scrags Tattoo Parlour
This orcish dive run by mad Scrag the Tattooist and her crazy brother Spak is a cesspit of villainy. A warren of back rooms and side exits provide many of the vices that corrupt the weak-minded.
