Black Kiergo

The Black Kiergo (also spelled Keirgo) is a district of Senchal.

History

The first iteration of the district, and the origin of part of its name, comes from the reign of Keirgo, who sponsored the construction of residences in Senchal for those who had been displaced in the late civil war. Despite its royal associations, the Keirgo district gradually became something of a slum.

The modern district was born out of the devastation of the Knahaten Flu. During the outbreak, which swept through Elsweyr in the Second Era, several neighborhoods in Senchal were burned to the ground in an attempt to contain the spread of the disease. The blackened appearance of these structures gave rise to the district's appellation. Over time, the district became a hub for criminals and other marginalized residents of the city. Today, the Black Kiergo carries a reputation as a dangerous and impoverished area of Senchal; a shadowy underbelly of criminal activity.
