District ability: Sumprot – Exhaust this card to force one enemy unit to re-roll 6s made on armour saves until the end of the battle round.

The foetid air of the stagnant canals of Steepsump is infamous not just in Vaedominus but across all of Felgate. It even has wasting disease named after the district – Sumprot afflicts the community of dredgers that regularly trawl the canals looking for discarded treasures or panning for archaeotech. Some of this is still attached to bodies that are often found drifting face down in the murky sludge. There is rarely a shortage of bodies and if there ever is, well, the dredgers find it easy enough to resolve that.

The canals are part of an abandoned mining operation that would have once carried ore directly down to the manufactorums. In Steepsump, the canals disappear through three dark tunnels into an imposing blocky structure where the canals appear to terminate completely. The structure holds mechanisms to ferry workers and machinery beneath the surface of Felgate into what you imagine are networks of mines and tunnels.
