Here, a great many of Solsangre Keep's sewers drain into a great sealed culvert that runs down the western hill. Although no bad airs come from the sealed drainage, the lack of night soil workers make the poor area rather badly diseased. Dwellings here are built with the cheapest material, lack ventilation, lighting, drainage, or any sanitation facilities. Beggars, bricklayers, needlewomen, hawkers, and errand boys are the primary denizens.

"I think it would have been difficult to have found a spot more full of crime ... The whole street drank hard while such plunder lasted ... an instance of the low life under the shadows of Deosil Quarter. I received a message one day to administer the sun's blessing to a dying mutant girl in Pye Street. She was in the last stages of consumption, and her story was to the effect that her husband lived on her wages, which he forced her to obtain by a life of sin ... She summed up her expiation in one sentence: "I have worked very hard, and I am very tired."

- Friar Hargreaves, on life in Widdershins Way
