Fort Aralan's protective walls only surround those portions of the city inside the bay. But the city has grown out onto the outside of the bay as well. These parts of the city are not protected from the wind or harsh weather. The land is rocky.
The area south of the channel into the bay is known as The Outer Harbour.
Lorpoint - This is a "tavern" district, frequented by fishermen.
White Harbour - A "wharf" district. Used by fishermen.
Ashley - A "warehouse" district. Storage buildings serving the needs of the White Harbour area.
Merrimill - A "tannery" district, in the terms set down by the CityScape book. This is where workshops too unpleasant for the main city are located. Tanning, dyeing, rendering etc. take place here.
Lochden - A "shanytown" nieghborhood has grown up here, near the protection of the city, and jobs provided by the wharf. Improvised housing for people too poor to live within the city itself.
The north side of the channel is often called "Riverbank".
Valmarsh and Bridgebank are "shantytown" districts, similar to Lochden.
Breakers is a former shantytown, but over time more permenant structures have emerged. But this area is still very poor.
Redbank is Fort Aralan's "red-light" district.
