"Jericho Locks: the hub of the Hinterlands' canals. The place where the bargemen cool their heels between voyages, where certain trade between London and Hell flows. Once, these waters belonged to the Surface – before the Masters changed all that."

Jericho Locks is the central hub for the canal workers of the Hinterlands.

It is the second station of the Great Hellbound Railway.

Dark, Tinged Crimson

"Beyond the dusty station, a shambles of spindly buildings huddle together in black-gabled clusters. A handful of rows and alleys are divided by great, wide canals. Water, ruddied by the tributaries of Hell, sluggishly crawls through these waterways – the arteries of the Locks."

A stream to the West.

The Canal's Secrets

"The Guild is permitted to take paying passengers on tours of the canals – if you can persuade them to take you."

"The captain reminds you of the rules: no music on the river but the viol. No getting out of the boat unless extreme circumstances demand or your bargeman permits. Only a single stopping point per route permitted. This done, she sets her black oar into the ruddy water and you set off."
