The Colovian City

The Colovian City (often referred to as the Colovian) was the main setting for The Harrowed Man. It is the capital of East Sea and the Colovian Region, and it served as a front for the Marketway. The Colovian suffered from a rich and poor outlet, with it's poorer/crime filled districts being neglected and segregated. However, this was due to a corrupt Baron buying the Colovian's Watch and gaining control of the city's government, as well as the Depression. The Colovian is split into many different districts, including South End, West Quarter, North Quarter, Knaven, Upper Bridge, and Saint's End, all being separated by the Wenrick Canal. The Colovian was home to many characters in the story, with each of them living in different districts.

The Colovian had a large problem of crime, which the Colovian did manage to resolve at one point by closing off any exits or entrances to the Marketway. However, a small entrance that connected to the Wenrick soon opened up, and it allowed ships to travel directly into the Marketway if they sailed through the city's main shipping port and departure dock, the Folley, and into the Wenrick. It soon became known as the Port. The Colovian City had many different trade routes and imports, all coming from different surrounding cities and regions. There were also many problems of smuggling and transporting of illegal and stolen items, due to exploiting the Folley's large inventory and number system. Many items were being passed through the Marketway and to other regions and cities, especially with the neighboring Cray Region, due to a middleman named Halick Medsill.

Along with the crime problems in the city, there existed many small illegal operations that worked day and night, including the Long, which was a long strip of buildings that were taken over by gamblers and card broaders, and used for illegal gambling purposes.
