Cheapside forms the western quarter of the city and is arguably the most famous of the city's quarters and the most "Deci" quarters of Deci. This is hardly surprising Cheapside formed the original city and there is great mystical and historical significance placed on it. It was home and playground to the young of the city who took up much with street gangs before maturing into adulthood and joining the more organised Hundreds Guilds.
However in the last year it has suffered at the hands of the Orc known as “King Blackjack”. Early in IM 1007 King Blackjack decided to torch Cheapside “so as to see what lay underneath”. The quarter recovered remarkably quickly but his next atrocity was not so easily recovered from. In his search for supremacy over the quarter he broke with gang tradition and through the year. He not only defeated his rivals he slew or drove them out of the city, destroying the heart and some might say, soul, of the city. He butchered the cradle of Deci, for in his drive to wipe out the those gangs not loyal to him he had struck a sore blow at the Hundred’s Guilds. At the Final Dawn of IM 1007 at the birth of IM 1008 and for the first time in its history Cheapside found itself near empty, no longer the most populous of the city's quarters.
