Perhaps more importantly for Iuz, for years he ordered the docks closed and the shipbuilders to only build warships for his war effort. Iuz’s only true port city on the Nyr Dyv, the “Lake of Unknown Depths,” it is a nexus of trade. If the Bandit Kingdoms in the interior need imported drugs, food, slaves, and weaponry, Alhaster will continue to prosper. Much of the trade that passes through the town would be illegal in more lawful climates, but here, the law is less concerned with morality than it is with maintaining the status-quo.
Despite the poor quality of its buildings and miserable state of its citizens, Low Alhaster is in many ways more important to the town’s continued prosperity than High Alhaster for it is here that the corrupt merchants and pirates’ rule, Alhaster is the only port in the Bandit Kingdoms. In stark contrast to the western third of the town is the true misery of Alhaster, hovels of flotsam and rubbish crammed together in tangled heaps, each using the other hovel for support as much as the soggy ground below.
Although Alhaster’s patron deity is Hextor, Prince Zeech tolerates other religions here in the interest of commerce, including those who worship Heironeous (provided they show proper deference and don’t cause trouble), These streets are regularly patrolled and kept immaculately clean by an army of gray-clad workers (who themselves are not encouraged to talk to visitors). They rub gables with huge timber temples and manors.
