The area south of the bridge, a poorer Backlund district.

Distrito al sur del puente begins as a mere geographic marker in the Backlund slums, but quickly becomes a crucible for the series’ class tensions and hidden intrigues. Across the volumes it evolves from a forgotten underbelly into a strategic battleground where Klein Moretti’s identities—Sherlock Moriarty, Gehrman Sparrow, and Dwayne Dantès—repeatedly intersect with the district’s impoverished residents, secret cults, and revolutionary cells. By the later books the district’s fog-choked alleys and derelict factories serve as both sanctuary and trap, reflecting the broader war between orthodox churches, secret organizations, and the common folk caught in between.
