Throm

Throm, also known as City of One Thousand Delights, The City of Thieves, or Cutpurse Bay, is a trade port near Tailbreaker Bay.

History
Throm in ancient times was a trade port built by a long forgotten empire pre-dating the Age of Bronze. Since then, a thieves' guild led by the Beggar King built over the ancient ruins and invited a slew of other organizations and guilds to conduct their trade without being subject to the prying eyes of the law.

Crime
Marauders, cutthroats, pickpockets, smugglers, pirates, assassins, burglars, bootleggers, necromancers, cultists, slavers, barbarians, and every imaginable manner of depravity conducts their business in Throm; whether in broad daylight or in shadow, it does not matter to their ilk. However, the legality of this business must remain within reason. Assault and murder is illegal in the city, a law that is enforced by an elite regiment of mercenaries known as the Black Scorpion Guard.

Notable Guilds
While the city is primarily controlled by The Guild With No Name, The Black Feathers have a presence in The Maze, The Tunnel Spiders have a place in the Undercity, and The Whisperers in Darkness have the market cornered on assassins for hire.

Racial Demograph
Hundreds of races and cultures come into port here, ranging from humans to bugbears and from kenku to shapeshifters.

Geography
No kingdoms border the city, save for the Ban Tuur Steppe nomads and the wood elves of The Veil across the bay.

Behind The Screen
Throm is heavily inspired by Sanctuary from the Thieves' World series created by Robert Lynn Asprin, Shadizar from the Conan the Barbarian series created by Robert E. Howard, and Lankhmar from the Fafhrd and The Gray Mouser series created by Fritz Leiber.
