====== The City-State of Vice ====== This city located on the edge of the [[Plaguelands]] in southwest [[Radavan]] is founded on a series of oasis in the middle of the desert as a stopover of trade, and has grown to be a hub of gambling, excess, intoxicants, and poor judgement which begat its name. Just about any entertainment can be found here - brothels, spice dens, barrooms, dance halls, even gladiatorial matches. Just below the shiny exterior meant for the wealthy travelers who frequent the city is a dark underbelly of squalor and crime. Magic of any sort is banned within city limits of Vice through a powerful mix of superstition and business interests. The city state is ruled by a body known as the [[Consortium of the Elite]] made up of the most powerful mob bosses who wield a great amount of economic power over a majority of working poor. ====== Notable Citizens ====== * [[Rangoon Hideous]] - Pit fighting kingpin * [[Erik LaFlange]] - Trades on victims' addictions and debt * [[william_odonaill|William Ó Dónaill]] - Covets magical power * [[The Respect]] - Trades in favors * [[Borly Iron-band]] - Retired dwarf adventurer * [[Gronk Hornhead]] - Master of the Veiled Cave * [[Jewell Whisperbane]] - Information Dealer * [[Urtsel the Fence]] - Cash for Goods * [[Vagabond]] - Mercurial Arms Dealer * [[Kalburin Rex]] - Dragonborn diplomat * Raul Caliban - House manager of the club "Jagged Edge" ====== Geography ====== Radavan is roughly the size of the continental United States in our world, so as a shorthand there is often a real-world American city analogue to the city-states of this continent. For example, Vice is analogous to the weather and geography of Las Vegas, NV.
