Termitary

Pathologic=

The Termitary (Термитник) is located in the eastern part of the town between the Tanner's and Slaughterhouse districts, next to the Abattoir.

Description
The Termitary is made up of two buildings, the Long and Short Block. These blocks are where the poor workers of the Bull Project such as butchers and worms live. They live in communes in a rather unassuming lifestyle, and are described as being like a "singular, multi-headed organism", and have no strong sense of individualism. Many describe their lifestyle as primitive. While those in the Abattoir oversee the slaughter of bulls, the residents of the Termitary blocks handle the actual processing of the meat.

At the start of the First Outbreak, the Termitary was closed due to a riot. This created a state of greater unrest.

Past
The blocks were built under the guidance of Big Vlad, head of the town's industry, after a great fire in the Earth district.

Until recently, the leader of the Termitary was "Father Superior" Tycheek, but shortly before the start of the epidemic, he died. His place was taken by his five-year-old daughter, Taya Tycheek.

Description
The Termitary consists of two giant concrete building, Block #1 and #2. Owned by Big Vlad whom had the buildings constructed to house the poor workers from the Kin, who work slavingly to fuel his industry. They live in communes in an opressive, work-addled lifestyle. Despite this, there is a living, although perhaps not thriving, community of Kin housed within the Termitary. Their leader, "Father superior" Tycheek recently passed, preceding the Haruspex first visit to the Termitary. They are currently led by Tycheek's daughter, "Mother superior" Taya Tycheek.

Although several townsfolk seem to share a similar opinion to the both of the Olgimsky's (Big Vlad and Vlad the Younger), where they look down on the worker Kin as nothing more than cattle, many like to avoid speaking about the Termitatary and when brought up, speak of it as a blemish on the town.

The kin housed in the Termitary speak frequently of their disdain for the Olgimsky family. Primarily Vlad the Younger, who was the one who saw to the enactment of their forced labour. After fruitless attempts by the Haruspex to evacuate Taya Tycheek during the outbreak from the Termitary, it is revealed that despite his esteemed status and earned respect with the kin, a schism has formed amongst them; fuelled by hatred for the Haruspex.
