N'thack

N’thack is a city near the Sea of Dragons, the city was founded in the far north as a halfway point for ships to dock during the dragon mating season, foul weather, and if supplies were needed for the last leg of the journey. Nethack is run by a council of elders, the council pulls one elder from each race that calls the frigid north home. The races include Dwarves, gnomes, Bearfolk, Goliath, Firbolg, Halflings, and Half-orcs. The variety of races in the area has allowed for a more unique culture then that of the very uptight city of Rakai.
