=== Outer Docks ===
The Outer Docks is a primary hub for mercantile shipping and receiving for the city.  It handles the bulk, ordinary goods coming and going into the city – things that must be traded in large quantities to make a profit, such as food, cloth, raw materials, and the like.  The Outer Docks are incredibly busy during the day, abuzz with ships landing and departing, and large loads of goods coming in and leaving by carts and caravan into the many warehouses located here.  At night, the Outer Docks transform into a nonstop party, with the many inns and taverns along the waterfront offering a way for the dock workers, sailors, and barge drivers to spend their hard-earned coins.  There are no permanent brothels in the Outer Docks, but freelance prostitutes (both male and female, and sometimes non-human) are known to frequent the area in the evenings, scurrying about to avoid the occasional patrol of the Red Swords.  The District has significant criminal activity – during the day, pickpockets and the like are common; at night, activity turns to larceny, muggings, or smuggling of illicit goods.
