Pigpits

Animal baiting is a tradition as old as Brondhavn itself and it used to be that you couldn't move through the lower markets without the din of violence and howls of beasts. After a time the markets left and the pits remained, named for the city's favourite bloodsport of enraged wild boar.

Pigpits became the de facto site of entertainment for the lower classes and mummers, minstrels and other dogsbodies started to ply their trade on the streets. Low property prices led to a number of theatres and run-down public houses to be established, the area is now well known as a den of vice - lower class brothels, bars and theatres rub shoulders and fight over clientèle.

The squalor of Pigpits gives it a raucous, earthy atmosphere - there's always either a fight going on or a play's actors causing chaos.
