So, the Absalom book is super useful for running this campaign since it has the rest of the city fairly detailed in it. Alas, it uses a pre Radiant Festival Precipice quarter and the information there is of little use now, given how drastically the area changes.

District Council Vigil’s Council
Headquarters Vigil’s Hope
Nomarch None (functionally Ulthun II)
District Watch None (functionally the knights of Vigil’s Hope)
Headquarters None (functionally Vigil’s Hope)
Captain of the Guard None
Key NPCs Kalavess (undead hunter); Tergul (leader of the Nailfist gang); Thulraga
(high priestess of Urgathoa); Travost Klim (high priest of Pharasma); Ulthun II
(Watcher-Lord of Lastwall in exile); Wrasp (high priest of Rovagug)
Services: Corpse disposal, limited smuggling, transport into the Darklands, rare
poisons and psychoactive plants. Most city-based activity in the district is
aimed at reclaiming key neighborhoods in preparation for Wynsal Starborn’s
upcoming Radiant Festival; opportunities for monster hunters abound!

So, I figured I'd update it and leave it here if anyone had anything to add or suggest.

In case:
District Council Radiant Festival Planning Committee
Headquarters Beldrin's Tower
Nomarch Blune Bandersworth
District Watch Edgewatch
Headquarters Edgewatch Precinct
Captain of the Guard Lieutenant Grospek Lavarsus

I wrote a comment on reddit that is about the overlap between the old version of the Precipice Quarter presented in the Absalom book and the renovated version that appears in the AP.

Quote:

Absalom book assumes the Precipice Quarter is in the state it was before it was rebuilt for the Festival. So there's no 1-to-1 correspondence. Of the locations mentioned in the Absalom book, of direct consequence to the AP are the following:


  • (170) Beldrin's tower is prominent on the map and it is the location of the final confrontation in book 6.
  • (173) The Drownyard is possibly connected to a plot hook mentioned at the end of book 1 at Snowdew Pond with the stench and the eerie hand.
  • (174) The Grislyfair is the location of the finale of book 4.
  • (175) Gulgamodh is fought in book 6.

I should also note at the point that /u/narchy made a wonderful map of the Precipice Quarter which while it has no key, it is way easier to find the locations there than on the official map of the quarter in book 1.
