History

• Summer 822 - Under military rule the city had become a den of corruption, the leaders and city watch rule with an iron fist and taxed or outright stole from locals and travellers. The governor and his 2iC was assassinated, allegedly by Drow after a deal went bad. The city is now rule by an unwilling alliance of the powerful factions in the city, none are able to get enough power to rule alone. As a result the city has become far less corrupt, as every faction is watched by the others.
