Shark

Shark — Kenshi Cities & Settlements reference image

Shark does not have laws. It has prices, and a long memory for who paid them.

A lawless swamp city built on stilts and crime — the unofficial capital of the hashish trade.

Wanderer's TipShark is the natural hub for a hashish-trading run — process hemp nearby and sell into a market that does not ask questions.

Who Controls It

Shark is a large independent city in the Swamp, effectively run by criminal interests and the drug economy. No major faction holds it.

Shops & Services

Grey-market vendors, drug buyers, and bars thick with mercenaries and outlaws. A natural home for smuggling and hashish trade.

Defences & Dangers

Town guards keep order loosely; the swamp around it brings Blood Spiders and acid rain. Crime is tolerated inside in a way it never is in UC or Holy Nation cities.

Best Reasons To Visit

Hashish selling, recruiting outlaw mercenaries, and an outlaw-economy base free of faction politics.

Wanderer's Note

“Squin is the safest beginner base. If you are lost, go there.”
