Blood Crescent
According to the Book:
House Tharashk established this outpost shortly before the end of the Last War. Built on the shores of Crescent Bay and regularly supplied by ships from Yrlag, a large town across the bay in The Shadow Marches, Blood Crescent serves as House Tharashk’s long dreamed-of foothold in the Demon Wastes. From this outpost, the house sends parties to scout for resources such as deposits of narstone and open pits of Khyber dragonshards. Finding the resources isn’t difficult; surviving the dangers of the Wastes is. That’s why the outpost commander often employs adventurers to either serve as guards for his scouting teams or even as scouts themselves when he seeks to enter a particularly treacherous stretch of the Wastes. The ruthless, no-nonsense Baruk (male half-orc) commands the outpost, which maintains a company of elite house guards in addition to the scouts and laborers necessary for finding and transporting exploitable resources from the Wastes. The outpost has survived three lost expeditions, seven assaults by the Carrion Tribes, and four attacks by random fiends and monsters. This history has given the place a very military outlook; many of the longtime residents of Blood Crescent feel as though they have been under near-constant siege.
