Tuskar

Tuskar, also known as Tooth harbor, located along the north-western coast of Aryndel, is a fishing, shipwrighting and trading town. Where the waters are as cold as they are tempestuous and the lands around are just as unforgiving. It was founded originally as a humble port for sailors journeying to and from the north, but has found prosperity in its fishing and shipwrighting, not to mention a promising trade in the hunting of most notably whales, but also sharks and other sea creatures that offer precious commodities.
Rare clams containing precious pearls are also said to be sprawled around the base of the sea cliffs. It has fortified itself using the very cliff it rests upon against constant raids from Pirates and Northmen alike. Its longevity is also partly due to its strange patronage towards a mysterious figure known only as The Grey Lady. Through sacrifice and oblation, the people gain this being’s protection and, through a designated medium who channels this unseen figures' words, has governed the town for many years. It is currently affiliated with the Northern Kingdoms after Jarl-Queen Katarina made some sort of deal with The Grey Lady.
Despite being such an eerie town, a prospesious amount of trade happens within the town, albiet not all legally. Being such a frequented stop for travelers along the western coast, it has a modest amount of shopfronts for the public eye, most notably The Ravana Yuga Emporium. But beneath the veil, their is a hive of scum and villany that lurk in the shadows, pouncing on any that would make themselves vulnerable.

Of The legal services of the town, the precious marine resources they are able to obtain are highly sought by many across Aryndel and even the continent, for their methods of sea hunting are said to be unmatched. The town brings in enough business from any seeking provisions and a secure rest on their nautical journeys.

• It is currently affiliated with the Northern Kingdoms.

City Encounters








D12	Encounter
1	A drunken sailor attempts to prove his worth and restore his self-esteem by facing off against a member of the party 1 v 1 fisticuffs
2	A group of rugged workers are moving some sort of container coverd in a thick draping cloth, the container rattles and strange muffled noises come from within.
3	A Beggar on the street ashs the party to spare a coin, the figure is a 1D4: 1-ex noble 2-veteran soldier 3- ex mercenary 4- ex priest
4	You hear, over the rabble of the city, a comotion begining to form - an older Woman has turned off the mainroad hurridly as 3 cowled figures delinquently follow. They are members of a street gang (if left unprovoked and dont intervene immediately, the figures leave with great apologies - for she shows them her isignia of membership to the conclave)
5	A beasts of burden (Ox) pulling a carriage of crates and the like has gotten spooked or agitated by nothing in particular, and the driver can't get them back under control.
6	While walking through the streets, the party can see a corpse dropped in an alley. The dead man is a gnome with a blade wound in his throat, chest, and eye. Carved onto his forehead is the symbol of the dead three. In his dead hand he clutches a note drawn in blood that says “Dead men tell no tales”. Apart from a silver tooth and the dagger, its corpse has got nothing of value. It seems like it was recently killed.
7	An obese human sits behind a table in the street, going by the name of ‘The Cartographer’, even though he knows nothing about cartography. He has got a big nose and golden rings in most of his fingers. Before him, in the table, are displayed pieces of numerous treasure maps for the people to see. If interested, you can get the piece plus the rest of the map for an amount of gold depending on how much of a legend the hidden treasure is. About ¼ of them are fake, which can be found out with a DC19 Wisdom (Insight) check, as he is an excellent liar.

At that moment, 6 wererats jump from a balcony trying to surprise the characters, with the intention of holding nearby civilians as hostages in ransom for some of their goods. They are known as "The Kraken's Teeth" The wererat gang consists of Milly, Burt, Uker, Gary, Terran, and Jes. Milly and Uker are married and may fight verbally between themselves during combat, while Burt and Terran behave like best friends by helping each other in combat as much as they can.
