Shark
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.
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.
