Fugue (settlement)

Fugue, also called the Fugue Plane, was a tent city in Vaasa near the Vaasan Gate in the late 15 century DR. It was a place of death, desperation, and hopelessness, hence it was named for the Fugue Plane.

Description
Fugue was little more than a massive ramshackle camp of poverty-stricken refugees. The conditions in the tent city were crowded and filthy, and death was a common occurrence. Illicit goods were a big business in the camps, and this black market was run largely by a spriggan merchant from Deepearth named Grintalalch the Red.

Geography
Fugue sat on the northern banks of the Beaumaris River in the western shadow of the Vaasan Gate at the entrance to Bloodstone Pass.

History
When the Warlock Knights seized Bloodstone Pass and sealed the Vaasan Gate in 1469 DR, Vaasan refugees fleeing from the Knights' war of conquest gathered nearby in hopes of being saved by Damara. By 1480 DR, no help had come and the population had swelled to approximately 2,000 desperate souls living in squalor.
