Editing Bastard's Wound (section)

==Background==
The central settlement of the Bastard's Wound is less a town than a ramshackle collection of tents, Beastmen nests, and reclaimed Oldwalls chambers. The refugees have erected sturdy stone bridges over the large chamber's many waterways, and faint light makes its way down from the fractured Oldwalls above.

The Wound gets enough sunlight to cultivate crops on the upper levels - cabbage, gnashroot, radishes. Mushrooms, even. The biggest challenge here is drinking water, despite appearances.  Something in the Oldwalls environment leeches into the water and corrupts it, producing a most curious disease in the afflicted. There's no fever or chills, bleeding, vomiting or what have you, but you will waste away over time, as if one were starving.
