Ed, if most Waterdavians commonly use chamberpots, then how does the sewer fill up? Are there household drains or something else? The sewers fill from the "bottom" with the incoming tides (which also wash the sewers out, though there are catch-gratings), and fill from the "top" with rain and (very frequent) shore-fog/seamist runoff from all the streets (which are fed by roof downspouts, etc.).#Realmslore

Ok. So its more like a modern storm drain than a sewer meant to primarily move sewage around? That's right. Most Waterdhavian people-manure goes from chamberpots or garderobes/jakes to cesspools, then to nightsoil wagons ("honey wagons" in modern North America) and out to the Rat Hills for dumping.#Realmslore
