Rookroost

The oldest of the Bandit Kingdoms' cities, Rookroost is a four walled city with three internal, concentric city walls, each with their own gates, within the exterior walls. In the central heart of the city stands the palace of "The Baron." Before the war, he was "The General," but the cambion Kerzinen, who had the previous ruler quietly done away with and now impersonates him, prefers to use his true title.

Kerzinen has adopted a strategy not unlike that of Althea in Molag, by feigning that "General Pernevi," the old ruler, still lives. But he rarely meets with the powerful bandit thieves, warriors and assassins who still control much of Rookroost. Most are content to ally with Iuz, but this is a city of true chaotic evil and there are treacheries aplenty in its back streets and alleyways. Half-orcs and even a handful of ogres, goblins and the odd hill giant can be found among Rookroost's populace. The soldiery here are mostly imported humanoids from the Horned Lands and the Land of Iuz, including 100 superb orogs. Their barracks have been walled off from the rest of the city. Town patrols are manned by the original, pre-war police, as cut-throat and corrupt a bunch as one could find anywhere.
