	There are three main access points to [[Sharis]]. To the east are two gates that come from a single branching tunnel. It is ~~though~~ that somewhere along this tunnel is a vein of ore and abandoned mine shafts that lead to the surface of an ancient dwarven outpost. Another opening to the surface was an ancient lava tube from a long extinct volcanoe, but this path has recently been closed according to new reports. Sharis' southern gate stands watch over the city's agrarian complex, which takes the form of intertwining tunnels used to grow edible mosses and raise rothe and other [[Underdark]] food staples. Beyond these winding tunnels is a path that leads to other settlements that lie even deeper. On its western edge, Sharis is bounded by a large underground lake known as Lake Bogul. Several settlements of [[Kharakuro]], [[Adomkuro]], and other races live on the banks of this lake and trade frequently with Sharis.		There are three main access points to [[Sharis]].

	The slippery [[Adomkuro]] leader of the Crimson Stalagmite Guild has a shady past. Rumor has it that he was once a member of another Adomkuro Lord's household in a settlement run by the Demon Lord Therazgul who faked his own death in order to leave the service of his Lord. After wandering the Underdark from settlement to settlement, he eventually made his way to the City of Sharis and began to ply his trade. With his success came power, and the courtship of many of the Adomkuro Lords who craved his services for their own. He had a different idea, however, and eventually connived and killed his way to the top of the Crimson Stalagmite Guild, where Adomkuro Lords now crave membership in ''his'' organization.

	This kharakuro merchant is famous for his blood fury crystal supply, which he keeps a closely guarded secret. It is known that blood fury crystals have no source in this part of the Underdark and theorized that Dash's source must come from the surface. With his riches from this lucrative trade, Dash runs a luxurious house within the city and has a series of contacts that form his supply chain. Naturally, some of his main customers derive from multiple thieves' guilds, including The Alley Reapers and Crimson Stalagmites.

	Demachek is a vassal to Lord Kimler Vasuth, another adomkuro Lord of higher stature. He possesses a moderately sized keep on the north side of Sharis, and his household has dealings with many of the local organizations, such as the Alley Reaper Guild, but he is not a direct member. Demacheck spends a lot of his time amassing and maintaining his army in order to serve the wishes of his Lord. Like most others of his kind, the makeup of his household is diverse. Various kharakuro fortune-seekers and other lesser adomkuro form the body of his small army which is frequently put to use for missions directed by Vasuth. Demachek also has a reputation for taking in adventurers as potential household members and employing them on missions to test their ability and capacity for loyalty. Many such individuals have risen to places of favor in his household.		Demachek is a vassal to Lord Kimler Vasuth, another adomkuro Lord of higher stature.

	===~~'''~~Lord Kimler Vasuth~~'''~~===		===Lord Kimler Vasuth===
	Vasuth is a powerful adomkuro Lord in the city of Sharis that answers directly to [[Sharistracterus]]. In local affairs, he is one of the many arms of the Demon Lord's will, and is known to swiftly enact orders passed down from his liege. Vasuth's household is quite large, and has several sub-households as vassals, such as Lord Alvar Demachek's group. It is also known that Vasuth is a powerful devotee to the deity [[Qinoxitl]], and is often seen studying the texts and pouring over the deeper meanings purportedly passed down from her teachings. This point has often been a source of strife for Vasuth, who is sometimes accused of having divided loyalties. As a direct servant of Sharistracterus, he is expected to follow all orders, but as a worshiper of another deity, he is seen as a wildcard in situations where the two agendas may conflict.

	Kirith-Fa is an adomkuro Sergeant in the army of Sharis tasked by Sharistracterus himself to bring back a valuable magical artifact known as the Hammer of Creation from the surface barrens of Tyedu. When Kirith-Fa and his army failed to retrieve the artifact, Sharistracterus sent out a second force led by a kharakuro named Captain Djiuntkris to dispatch Kirith-Fa for his failure and retrieve the artifact. Upon hearing the news, Kirith-Fa fled and his whereabouts are unknown. Rumors persist that he has been sighted back in Sharis, but the foolhearty nature of this rumor makes it hard to believe. He is also thought to have something to do with the recent appearance of a strange kind of [[Runic Magic]].

	===~~'''~~Sertich Bladefinger~~'''~~===		===Sertich Bladefinger===
	As the leader of the upstart Alley Reaper Guild, Sertich is a dangerous urban sprite with amazing luck. Of course, being able to turn invisible at will helps, both with his thieving abilities and his escaping arts. This comes in handy, because the wild success of his new guild has inflamed the anger of the more established Crimson Stalagmite Guild and traffic from would-be assassins is frequent. To date, none of these attempts has succeeded and Sertich continues to grow his guild by enlisting support from Adomkuro Lords and kharakuro thugs.

	===~~'''~~Sharistracterus~~'''~~===		===Sharistracterus===
	The Demon Lord [[Sharistracterus]] makes his home in a multi-layered compound built into the crescent-shaped stalactite palace in the middle of the city. The rock structure penetrates from ceiling to floor where it merges with a stalagmite of equal size. It is thought that this mass has a network of tunnels inside that penetrate even more deeply into the Underdark. At the base of the structure and outside of it is a gigantic gatehouse that employs all manner of unknown magical protections and wards which only the immediate servants of Sharistracterus know how to enter. From this impenetrable location, the Demon Lord governs his realm and administers to the organized chaos of households, organizations, temples, guilds, and other entities that pay allegiance.

	===~~'''~~The Night Watch~~'''~~===		===The Night Watch===
	Whatever semblance of order there is in Sharis is kept by the Night Watchmen. They are generally known as uniformed thugs in crimson and black uniforms that wear the livery of [[Sharistracterus]] and perpetuate crimes in his name. However, all of this is done in the guise of "keeping the peace". More often than not, each member of this organization doubles as an agent for one of the many other secret organizations in the city, such as the Crimson Stalagmite or Alley Reaper guilds. To make matters worse, several small and medium-sized adomkuro Lords are members of this organization, which according to the laws of Sharis society automatically makes their household members loyal operators of the Night Watch. This complicates matters when household members try to impose their will against other members of the Night Watch that do not belong to households outside of the police force.

	===~~'''~~The Crimson Stalagmite~~'''~~===		===The Crimson Stalagmite===
	The Crimson Stalagmite is considered a "full service" Rogue's Guild. Its operations range from petty theft and training of street urchins to grand larceny, grand theft, and manipulation of trade. Its membership is mainly made up of Adomkuro and Kharakuro, though there are several other races represented. Naturally, whenever its territory is threatened, there are consequences, whether it is a lone violator or another organization. The leader of this guild is thought to be a slippery Adomkuro named Alforth, who is thought to be a Night Watchman and brother of Garix in his spare time.

	Where there are riches, there are multiple treasure hunters.

Adomkuro and other larger humanoids usually find positions as muscle and enforcers in this guild, because most fey are small sized. A portly yet ruthless urban sprite named Sertich Bladefinger is the undisputed leader of the guild these days. All attempts to catch him to date have failed.
