Primarily, I have the Militia, a.k.a. the police, the Nameless Guild, a.k.a. the criminal organization, and the Chaos Cults, a group of cultists that worship strange powers of a chaotic nature. I'm a big fan of Warhammer 40k and Lovecraft, so the Chaos Cults is sort of a combination of the two.
The Town Militia
The active part of the
militia itself is a small police force that consists of only a dozen soldiers
of limited ability plus the commanding officer, an impressive man named Laurick Pensell..
These soldiers patrol the town on a daily basis and make sure there is
no trouble. Though they couldn’t stop
any serious trouble better than the adventurers who live in the town, they are
a visible show to let everyone know they are being watched. They also investigate crimes and similar such
occurrences.
Just because the
regular soldiers are not strong doesn’t mean their commander isn’t. A powerful force to be reckoned with, fear of
Laurick is what keeps most people in line.
If anyone should harm his soldiers, they are sure to rue that day. And not only is he a powerful man in his own right, but he is friends with many of the powerful figures in the town who would be willing to help an old friend in a time of need.
The
non-active members of the militia are much greater in number and consist of
most of the adventurers in town plus numerous other people that live
there. They arise to the defense of the
town when required.
The
Nameless Guild
A small group of thieves that decided to organize themselves
into a small guild to make people think they are much more powerful and
dangerous than they really are, they have equivalent power to the militia
without the backing of powerful friends.
Led by a person known only as the Nameless One, not even the other
members know who this person is, but the one thing that is known is that this
person wields a terrible power that causes death in a painful manner. Without this power, the Nameless Guild would
likely have been run out of the town long ago.
The Nameless Guild has avoided drawing a lot of attention to
itself by keeping most of the criminal activities it performs hidden from
view. They have done little overt
activity that can be traced back to them though numerous other crimes have been
attributed to them. They have not
committed any murders as of yet, though whether the people that have gone
missing is because of the Nameless Guild is unknown.
Primarily, their main purpose has been smuggling, human
trafficking and selling drugs.
The Chaos Cult
Unfortunately it seems
that when people gather in one place, evil must also gather. In this town, evil gathers in the form of the
Chaos Cult. This Cult is filled with
people who believe that in the end, the world will return to the pure Chaos
that it was once built upon
Surprisingly though,
despite this belief in Chaos, they manage to keep themselves hidden beneath the
radar except for the occasional strange occurrence. Whenever there is something that comes up
that cannot be explained, one of the possible explanations is always that the
Chaos Cults are involved whether they truly are or not.
One of the reasons the
Chaos Cult is so strong here is that the entire area is filled with the power
of Chaos. The weather patterns are
sometimes very strange, creating snow even thought the area is a humid jungle
or other much more bizarre effects as described below.
