You all are residents of Sharn who have come together to work a job in Dura, the seedy underbelly of the city of towers. Dura is currently in the midst of a gang war, with the arrival of a new gang in the city that has thrown off the balance of power, so there is much coin to be made in moving products between districts.
Major Gangs/ Factions of Sharn:
- Boromar Clan: A halfling family that is the most powerful criminal organization in the city. Doesn’t have a huge direct presence in the lower wards, but many smaller gangs pay up to them for permission to operate
- Daask: A gang formed primarily of “monstrous” creatures (goblins, gnolls, harpies, you get the idea). That has quickly carved out large sections of territory in the city. Is rumored to be backed by the nation of Droaam.
- The Tyrants: a much more secretive group, the tyrants are composed largely of doppelgangers and changelings, and are involved more in subterfuge than direct conflict.
- House Tarkanan: Not necessarily a gang, but is a dragon marked house for those with Aberrant Dragonmarks. Known for assassination, thievery, and the like.
