Ever look in the temple district map? On the top left you should see Jan Jansen's house spiring up, along with Borinall's red and orange striped roof atop the copper coronet. But wait, dost my eyes decieve me? At the bottom left, I see a certain "ship that was run aground and has been built around since then." But that ship is supposed to be right above the Jansen home... I tell you: the temple district is CURSED!

Also a funny note is that the temple district is right beside the government district, thus why would the slums be anywhere NEAR the temple?

It's really just filler houses that they put in, to make it look fuller so that it wouldn't just suddenly end into black space or something.
