Dutch Hole

Dutch Hole lies on the northern side of the Allegheny River, opposite from the Point, where several ancient roads once converged. According to the oral traditions of the Allegheny, a forgotten cemetery lay here before the road. In the Fifth World, the asphalt has all crumbled away, but in the years that it took to do so, the crumbling roads became a fertile bed for dogbane. Generations later, the Allegheny pull up any young trees that try to grow here, so that the dogbane can continue to grow. They use this area to collect it, process it, and weave it into fibers and cordage, including the nets that they employ at the Aviary, and which the Pelicans use for fishing.
