Function in Play
The most dangerous area of New Orleans at night, and the most information-rich. Newcomers waiting for Marcel’s decision on their residence. Kindred denied entry who stay anyway. Setite smuggling operations. The public commodity warehouses (explicitly Setite-adjacent — most Camarilla avoid them). Martin’s (Nosferatu) warehouse haven is here.
Physical Read
50 miles of river frontage. 43 state-controlled docks, dozens more privately held. Public commodity warehouses on the eastern end (Setite-controlled frontage). The Industrial Canal branches off to the east. The air smells of river mud, diesel, and fish.
At night the docks are never empty — cargo ships, barge traffic from New York and Montreal, smugglers operating through the canal system, and the constant low-level churn of people with reasons not to be elsewhere.
