| Not all of the Drench sits under the plates. There is still built up space bulging into the wilds around the city, though generally the spread is only to the east or west, the highway blocks the north and the lake and floodplains blocking the south. |

In the wet season these western plains flood to mirror like extensions of the lake, shallow enough to not disrupt life too much. In the dry season they bake, ground cracking and plants dying, pulled up by the wind and blown around along with the dry dirt.

Closer to the lake there are wild overgrown berry bushes, different varieties twisted together so something is always blooming, so long as you’re willing to risk the thorns for them. There are rumours of strange animals making their homes deep in the thorns, though nothing more than the usual birds and rodents have ever been seen.

Divided away from the city by the outer ring of a long abandoned roadway, the Scratch has been cleared and developed for crops, a variety of flood resistant grains and vegetables grown here. There are also various fish and mollusc pools, with just enough abundance and variety to provide the city with food.

A path in which each Aristocrat family travels through these treacherous swamps remains an unspoken secret, passed down through generations. In the rainy season, one wrong step could be fatal, and only the strongest children survive being thrown in the waters. The Drenchers think this is all quite dramatic and barbaric, obviously, but appreciate the relatively ignored foraging space.

Of the old highway system, this one main artery is all that remains, stunted in three places by strict checkpoints, each operating independently (better make sure you have three separate bribes). (Temporarily: At the moment, trucks and scattered buses sit stopped between each locked down checkpoint, tensions rising with each passing day.)
