Darkroad
A massive slab of stone and rock juts out of the ground, held by the supporting legs of a statue dedicated to Cether, a god of the Lanousse. Outside of the stone is the ruins and remains of a city. And under the stone is a new city built into the old, the city of Darkroad.
Darkroad is built into the remains of the pale elven city of Esari, which was once the imperial capital before being reduced to ruins. The drow originally fought a war for Esari, but that quickly ended as their numbers plummeted. Instead, Darkroad is shared by various drow families - a neutral ground where open war is outlawed. Darkroad functions as a portal to the underdark, and a hub for local trade. Darkroad has anything and everything for sale, from drugs to weapons. Darkroad is designed to sap money from people, to increase the height of drow riches, and to work as a hub for things that would be illegal elsewhere. Its partially to blame for the Lordless Lands reputation as criminals, because Darkroads lack of laws really does put a "criminal" element on display.
Darkroad has no real leadership, drow families control single block to sometimes entire districts, with each block having its own guides and rules.
Demographics
Darkroad is extremely mixed, with a large population of Drow and humans.
