First off before I get into my topic I wanted to give Pazio kudos for one f the best RPG books that I have ever bought The Inner Sea Guide.

I was reading the Absalom entry and it said the Puddles district had been largly left to the criminal element after the earthquake that sunk the Puddles dstrict and caused it to flood at high tide.

Why has Lord Gixx not reclaimed this district by building a sea wall and using magic to correct the flooding problem would allow the reclamination of this district. This would increase the tax base f the city and benifit all who live in Absalom.


Well, like everyone else, Gyr occasionally enjoys seeing people suffer.

That type of question will need to remain unanswered for now... but the short version is "Lord Gixx has other things on his plate."


He's preocupied by eating babies?

Do we know what the Puddles was called before the earthquake?

It is mentioned somewhere, not sure if it was in a fiction piece, guide to absalom, or an adventure though (multiple PFS adventures take place there)

It was called the Puddles then, too. It's always been of a slightly lower elevation to the rest of the city. Incidentally, it was probably also fairly sparsely inhabited for a long time during the city's early history for exactly this reason.
