Serve "The Boss"
The city of Mathsaluma is one of the only places where humans and giants "coexist," if you can call it coexistence. The city is loosely run by the Imperium, a severely weakened royal structure that used to rule the city with an iron fist. Several hundred years ago, the people of the city rebelled, and slaughtered the Royal Family Blackthorne. Now, the city is run by five prominent and dozens of smaller factions, each one of whom has a leader that participates in a disorganized oligarchy that makes the "laws." This system fails on nearly every front, and the government is run exclusively by crime syndicates and a struggling royal family with no remaining members, only those who remained loyal. Since the fall of the Blackthornes, the city has been a lawless, black market driven shit show. Five main, important factions exist, as follows:
The Iron Vipers:
- Leadership and Operations: Led by "Ironhand" Garek, a ruthless former mercenary. The Iron Vipers operate with military precision and brutality. Their territory is heavily fortified, and they enforce strict discipline among their members.
- Worship: Gronthar, God of War
- Activities: Weapon smuggling, protection rackets, and mercenary services.
- Leadership and Operations: Led by "The Widow" Myra Nightshade, a mysterious and enigmatic figure. The Black Lotus uses covert operations and subtle manipulation to maintain control. They are known for their stealth and deadly efficiency.
