Underworld Adventurer

**This post is a continuing work in progress** In the shadow of the Impossible Keep, rests the settlement of Orm. The walled community rests where the Gloaming Hills meet Sourwood Marsh. Allowing no entry from the coast of the Cerulean Sea, Orm has commanded the marshland for Aeons. Once, durinng the peak of the Empire-That-Was, Orm possessed legendarily decadent gardens. Their ruins rest above New Orm along with crumbling remnants of structures from when the Cerulean Sea stood taller. This shell of a past grandeur, the Orm-of-Old, is visible throughout all points in the modern township and reminds its citizens that the greatest days of Orm have past. All know that the current ruler of Orm, the Rani, cannot accept this truth which is apparent to her subjects. Like many of the local petty rulership across Ur-Dan, she declares Orm a City-State.

 Ever since he established the Wolves Den , the duelist Wolfgang has been shaken down every week for 100gp by the Rashers- a local clan of halflings that run the underground fighting circuit in Orm.

He also informs the duelist that tomorrow night, the Rashers will be holding one of the biggest pit fight nights of the year. The fights take place an old barracks that, at some less enlightened time in Orm-of-Old held slaves. The Rashers make a good haul from the fights. It takes most of the members of the gang to take bets and keep an eye out for rivals like the Crooked Hand . At midnight, the Rasher lieutenant, Billow, brings back a strong box to the Rashers HQ with a crew of hand-picked escorts.
