Duskfathom
As with all cities, no matter how lawful, Axis has its own dark underbelly, an illicit underworld populated by thieves and predators. While some might be surprised to find criminal activity in a realm of perfect law, they forget that the concept of lawfulness doesn’t mean solely governmental laws, and Axis itself cares nothing for good or evil. The best example of this is Norgorber’s domain, a literal underground of sewers and tunnels filled with thieves and murderers that connects disparate points across Axis. Far from purging this sprawling network of its shady inhabitants, most Axiomites and other residents accept it as a necessary part of what makes a city run smoothly, like grease in a machine. While Norgorber and his servants may not always follow the letter or spirit of the laws to which they agree (laws that theoretically bind all of Axis’s inhabitants), their unreliability is anticipated and planned for—they can be trusted to be untrustworthy. The utility provided by the god of thieves (and his role as the head of what is functionally the largest thieves’ guild in the cosmos) allows most of Axis to turn a blind eye to his activities in the name of pragmatism.
