A district of elevated walkways and suspended structures built above flooded ground. The water beneath the Stilts is brackish, deep in places, and home to Merrow and things less identifiable. The buildings are connected by rope bridges, wooden causeways, corrugated metal walkways, and the occasional chain-link span that sways under traffic. Electrical cable and Wire conduit run along the undersides of the main causeways, stapled to the wood by Tinker contractors who service the district when the tide is low. The Stilts house a transient population: sailors, ferrymen, aquatic Theriae who prefer wet air, and anyone whose living depends on the waterways that thread through Nod's lower geography. The district smells of brine, tar, diesel, and fish guts.
