The Sewers

 To get to the sewers one must go to the area where staff like to party, there is a trap door (usually paddle locked) underneath all the junk. It has a few stairs that go down into the sewer system. The sewers are not guarded, and nobody goes down to it anymore. It is said a hag frequents the sewers now. The area does have a few emptied storage units, grotesque water, and slimy walls. The torches are no longer lit in the level. A gate to the rest of the sewers that go far underneath the city are blocked off by two heavy gates that are locked.

The level has a center, which is circular, and tunnels that surround it. To get to the now defunct and abandoned Crypt, one must go through the dungeons, into the sewers, and through another trap door down into the crypt. The palace's plumbing system empties at times into this sewer, it is no longer maintained so it's crawling with absolute filth and it's possible certain types of large deadly worms make it their home. Staff joke that a Bloodbeast lives down there to scare younger servants, and it's used as a form of fear tactic to make them work harder if they're getting lazy or lagging otherwise the orc cook will throw them down into the sewer without a torch.

When the palace was being rebuilt after the hanging of Illois, Lord Azzur used the crypts as his dwellings, if he wasn't also staying aboard his ship. In those days, the sewers had lots of light and were kept very cleaned. They continued to maintain the level up until the 4th floor was built and Azzur never went below again. The purpose of the offices in the dungeon were once lord Azzur's offices where he worked, but now with his own study, the offices are somewhat frequented by others for various business or for prisoners to be questioned or be mutilated.

Only one person successfully accessed the palace from the sewers, Drogo Widemouth, and he managed to sneak into Lord Azzur's bed chamber at night. He was caught obviously, was dismembered, his body parts set up in the city to warn others. This resulted in the extra gate being built and the trap door to always have a lock on it now. The hag who is in the sewers, most likely has the skeleton key to the gates and can come and go as she pleases.
