The Rock of Bral

Bral is a city built on an asteroid. It's inhabitants hail from many worlds, and often refer to Bral as simply 'the Rock.'
Our group of adventurers briefly visited Bral after escaping from Faerun. We went to the Happy Beholder tavern, and also met Commodore Kruxx, who said he could help us in stopping the destruction of our homeworld.
 

People of Bral

Bral is populated by an outlandish collection of traders, rogues, mercenaries, pirates, nobles, and entrepreneurs. Generally, law enforcement is sporadic, which means that order is an elusive concept. Most folks who call the Rock home adhere to two principles: mind your own business whenever possible, and enough gold can fix anything.
 

Government

The Rock was last known to be ruled by Prince Andru, grandson of a bandit king named Cozar, but several other factions wielded power as well.
 

Geography

The Rock is a mile long and a half mile thick, populated on one side by roughly 12,000 inhabitants and the other side is the government palace and personal royal hangars.
