The Lowglass Basin is the broad native homeland of the Gutterglass people, a dense region of canal towns, sprawling trade cities, old capitals, and industrial districts built atop older ruins. Foxlike, martenlike, and civetlike beast-folk fill its streets with expressive gestures, bright eyes, and rapid conversation. Every neighborhood has layered histories, hidden routes, and competing loyalties, making the basin ideal for campaigns focused on urban intrigue, trade, exploration, and social conflict.

Field Observations

Canal travel is fastest but requires permits near major cities.,Flooded ruins often conceal unstable floors and hostile scavengers.,Industrial districts can become impassable during strikes or smoke inversions.
