Could a Canal Ward forum be added as one of the major "metafactions"/parts of the city? Right not it doesn't seem to be really part of either Upper or Lower - neither in terms of geography nor "feeling". In geographical terms it's also pretty distant from Upper, being cut off by both New Dunwarren and Lower.

Giving the place it's own forum would also probably further player involvement in the area, and give it a chance to develop independently.

The Canal Ward is owned by Old Sanctuary, so I wager a post in the Old Sanctuary forum will cover it. Though if the other DMs disagree I s'pose we can throw a forum up!

The Canal Ward falls under Old Sanctuary jurisdiction, but, technically, Old Sanctuary refers only to the central areas of Upper Sanctuary while the Canal Ward, arguably with the exception of New Dunwarren, is the newest section of Sanctuary. Personally, however, I see no need for an extra forum. >.>
