Message: <blockquote data-quote="Leif" data-source="post: 3677346" data-attributes="member: 48762">OOC:  Ok, I see that a word of explanation is in order here.  There are three distinct areas underground in Lauralie Summerhome, the sewers (which really aren't very deep at all, and auxiliary to the surface), the Understreets (likewise not very deep and considered to be an extension of the surface streets), and the 13th Ward.  The 13th may have some links to the sewers and/or the Understreets, but they are really all separate areas.  As far as you know, there is no map of the 13th.  This project by Krado Lyman is the first that you have ever heard of such a thing.  The "13th Ward" is, of course, not really an official Ward of Lauralie Summerhome at all, it's just local slang.  (There is no offical 13th Ward, as that number was omitted by a superstitous city father when the city was originally laid out, and this was what gave rise to the slang term in use today.)  Also, with reference to inside the Dammit Wall, it is highly unlikely that it would even be possible to make an accurate map of that area, because buildings, streets, etc. change so often.  It is clear that any cartographer who attempted such a map probably wouldn't survive the attempt, IF (and this is highly unlikely) you could find one who was brave enough to even try.Also, depth is, itself, not an absolute gauge of whether something is or is not part of the 13th Ward.  For example, it is widely rumored that the Brotherhood of Eleven's home base communicates directly with the 13th.  You have also heard tales of temples to evil gods that are located in the 13th Ward, where all sorts of demonic/diaboloical rites are carried out.  But you have never heard of the specific location of any such, and this may be just an old wives' tale.  And, as far as you know, there are no other mapmakers being attacked in the city.I hope this explanation helps.</blockquote>
