Guilds

Guilds, Adventuring

• Madbrand Guild: Humans who were taken as slaves by Pomarjian orcs, but later threw off their chains (both of slavery and civilization).

Guilds, Thieves

• Blue Thieves Guild: More of a gang of street-toughs than a true society of skilled rogues, the Blue Thieves Guild is now much more respected than in its prior existence under Malvan's leadership.

Guilds, Wizardry

• Circle of Blue: An informal society of arcane spellcasters who work to lessen the influence of Blue's occupation government so they can be left to conduct business and research as they see fit.

Military

• Garrison of Blue: The military contingent charged with the defense of Blue. It is comprised of members of the Obsidian Bay Army as well as local Blue volunteers.

Ships

• Never Sunk: A sorry looking ship that is nevertheless seaworthy. The captain Yanos is a crusty old man who's usual response to almost any situation is to shrug and mutter grumpily "So what?"
• Breka: Everyone is surprised that the captain of this doughty ship is a dwarf. But Ol' Pierce hasn't bothered to explain himself or his motivations. His crew is fairly inexperienced and Breka doesn't usually have an unusual cargo or specialize in certain "runs".
• Salty Dog: Jonah is fairly unremarkable, even for a captain in Blue. He hauls staples, most of the time.

Sites

• Marleybone
• Shank's Alehouse
• Southlight Keep
• The Ettin's Heart, Blue: The Ettin’s Heart tavern was founded in CY 564 by the Noosman family of Onnwal. For almost 30 years the Noosmans have catered to merchants and well-off adventurers within the city, and prided themselves on providing a safe, secure place for folks to meet. It insures this sense of security with strong arms, excellent blades, and a smattering of magic.
