	== General Information ==		== General Information ==
			The city of [[Verloghokbol]] - a trading outpost to some known as the Dark City - lies somewhere in the Avlissian [[Underdark]], nested into a vast cavern closer to the surface than any other major settlement. [[Human%2C_Adomkuro\|Adomkuro]] and [[Dwarf%2C_Kharakuro\|Kharakuro]] are the largest racial groups. A number of [[Elf%2CSereg\|Sereg'wethrin]] would likely constitute the next category of denizens, along with demons, perhaps. Undead are fairly represented, too. A visitor can also expect to find kuo-toa, [[Shaahesk]] (after [[Kimonictinus]], [[Aarilax]] has the biggest temple there) and kobolds, as well as ogres, goblins, hobgoblins, and other humanoids. Verloghokbol is a melting pot of evil.

	Somewhere in the Avlissian [[Underdark]], nested into a vast cavern there lies the city of [[Verloghokbol]] - a trading outpost to some known as the Dark City. Nearer to the surface than any other outpost, the city hosts a large population of [[Human%2C_Adomkuro\|Adomkuro]] and [[Dwarf%2C_Kharakuro\|Kharakuro]], but an unwary traveller might easily find his back stabbed by some much more exotic being - "exotic" judging only by surface's standards, though. A minority among the denizens are the [[Elf%2CSereg\|Sereg'wethrin]] - a notable, yet - due to their affinity to shadows - at times unnoticeable one.

It leads straight into the Temple District, hosting many a basilica and shrine.

Two residential quarters, respectively: Eastern- and Western Residences, a governmental Citadel District and the bustling Marketplace are accessible from there, too.

	~~== Laws and Government ==~~
	~~Verloghokbol is effectively governed by three trade cartels, with the City Guard enforcing their will with an iron fist.~~

	~~The Cartels should be seen more as Mafia families, each controls part of the (il)legal trade in verloghokbol, they have different interests for the most part to avoid open war~~, ~~but there are areas in which their interests overlap and there's a lot of covert maneuvering going on~~.		[[Image:Verlog_Violet.jpg\|right\|thumb\|150px\|A Kharakuro guard, Verloghokbol.]]

	~~Aside from~~ the ~~cartels there~~ are ~~numerous little street gangs~~ that ~~though they pay lipservice~~ to the ~~cartels operate in niche markets and~~ are ~~independent~~.		== Laws and Government ==
			Among many factions in Verloghokbol three Cartels hold the true political power, and they are run with coin in mind. They also command the City Guard. A common misunderstanding is that the City Guard are there to uphold any laws - the guardsmen, however, are much more the strongarms for the Cartels to allow those three organizations to conduct their highly profitable business.

They manage to avoid open war since their interests differ for the most part, but there are areas in which these overlap and there's a lot of covert manoeuvring going on. Numerous little street gangs which pay lipservice to the Cartels, yet operate in the niche markets and are independent also contribute to the specific ambient of the Dark City.

			There is neither a codified law system in Verloghokbol nor any need for one such. Those unfortunate enough to cross the Cartels' business are dealt with swiftly and <i>finally</i> (the term "fine" itself quite remote from Verloghokbol's City Guard <i>modus operandi</i>), in a fashion brutal and effective.

Recently the Citadel has remained locked to all but a few, the militia remaining out of sight within its walled compound - until Gorenikus entered an alliance with the Spider Cult, another faction threatening the rule of the three Verloghokbolian Cartels. A short time ago mercenaries working for Mortanus the Binder infiltrated the Black Citadel and killed Lord Gorenikus. Favoured by some deity he managed to return for sure, but the Cartels of Verloghokbol have eliminated another threat. For now.
