The sewers of Westgate were a sanitation system beneath the city of the same name.[1]
Structure[]
A large portion of these sewers were regularly in a flooded state.[1] They were unlit, requiring a torch to traverse, and thick with the stench of decay.[2]
Functionality[]
As Westgate was built around a natural harbor on the southern coast of the Inner Sea, at the mouth of the River Thunn,[3] the city's sewers emptied into there. The sewers fouled the water of the harbor,[4] making those who swam in it likely to catch a disease.[3]
Sewer Ecology[]
A variety of terrible aquatic monsters were said to lair within these sewers. The most notable of them was a great quelzarn, which was known to occasionally snatch sailors from off the decks of ships moored in Westgate's harbor.[1][5] This was such common knowledge among Westhavians, that bouncers of the Black Eye throwing combatants into the harbor was referred to as "feeding the quelzarn."[6]
