The Black Lung Quarter is a high density industrial residential zone where workers endure absolute squalor. Located in the heart of Vordenburg, it is defined by the Sardine Boxes, cramped housing units stacked high into the soot stained sky. Communal coal fires provide the only refuge from the freezing damp, while the sound of distant artillery tests serves as a constant heartbeat. It is the grim cradle of the Ash Walker insurgency, where disillusionment has finally curdled into open rebellion.
