I was comparing translations of the first novel in English and French. At one point it says the slaughterhouse/whaling companies started investing in modern facilities "closer to the harbor mouth in the west". From that I assume the harbor is like in London, alongside the river. In French however, it says something like "closer to the river mouth, in the harbor, in the west". For now I assume it isn't a translation mistake.

Either the direction is incorrect, since the river opens to the sea in the south (or east before the cardinal points on the map were rotated left), or the river does open somewhere in the west, past Slaughterhouse Row, like a large lake. That would explain the vista from this district in KoD. Furthermore, Brigmore being upriver, we actually don't see the other side of the river from there, despite the fog. Lastly, the novel mentions a lake in Gristol, but does not say how close to Dunwall.
