Drax Kurzot



"... It's the bottom of the Empire in more ways than one."

Drax Kurzot lies at the southernmost reach of Denagoth and it is likely the furthest you will get from the Shadow Lord's influence in his own domain. The Lord of Drax Kurzot is one Malthus Cadena. He has made some trade links with towns and settlements south of Denagoth. Trade has even made it all the way to the Hammerfist Holds. Malthus hold on power is through his patronage of several acquisitive gangs within the fortress town. As such he does not enforce the law effectively in Drax Kurzot. Thus not only is crime rampant but the constabulary is corrupt. The only crimes that will go punished are those committed upon gang property, or assault of a dark lancer or agent of the Shadow Lord. Despite the fact that the laws are more loosely interpreted here, the fear of the Shadow Lord is strongly inculcated. Any outsiders that make it to Drax Kurzot as traders or visitors quickly learn how terrible a place it is as pretty crimes target outsiders with impunity.

The trade coming in through Drax Kurzot brings many magical reagents and other wondrous items into the nation. Such things are more scarce deeper within the borders. Indeed, Cadena is rumored to possess a fine firearm.
