Sewer Bestiary

ADD TO WISHLIST >

There is no avoiding the fact that big populations create a lot of waste.
All big cities need some system to remove this waste, otherwise in short
order they would be overwhelmed by filth and plagued by disease. In
smaller cities this system may be as simple as a series of gutters which
carries the contents of voided bladders, chamber pots, and garderobes
through the open air into a local river or cesspit. More technically
advanced cities often have systems of tunnels, or sewers, beneath the
city. Sewers are designed to control waste water, refuse, and possibly
even prevent flooding during high rains. Though they play a vital
role in sanitation, sewers are often ill-maintained (out of sight, out of
mind) and rarely patrolled. In fact, in most cities the only folks who are
interested in the underground sewer networks tend to be smugglers and
thieves, not guards or citizens.
In older cities, such sewers may not be the only structures or passages
below the surface. Natural caverns, secret tunnels or vaults, local mines,
garbage pits, and the remains of old cities may be intermingled with
basements, cisterns, water wells, and rifts from unstable geology. In
addition to the garbage and waste the city removes or stores below
ground, unsavory characters use the dark pits to hide bodies, failed
experiments, and contraband too risky to be caught with. The bigger
the city, the more shame its residents try to sweep far, far under the rug.
But nothing stays buried forever. When trash, rot, disease, magic, and
forgotten ruins mix, treacherous things are bound to grow. And in time,
those dangers have to be dealt with…

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
