The sun sets over the port of Blackwater and a new age begins. A single green moon illuminates the docks tonight. Its eerie glow illuminates the creatures which stalk these dark streets. Many a new face has arrived in Blackwater recently. The tides of power are shifting and many a beast noticed it. They all know what this means. The waters will run red and the streets will darken. The monsters lurk in the dark. Perhaps some will rise, perhaps some will fall, to Blackwater, its nothing but the tide.

The city itself is split up into cardinal directions.

North Blackwater houses dwarven town and the mining district. Many a shop can be found here as well. It is the most heavily warded area of Blackwater. As a result, most monsterous residences are here as well.

West Blackwater contains the druid parks and the magus academy. The higher end wizardry shops can all be found here. Mostly elves and sorcerers live here.

South Blackwater is known as the the chum slums. This area is run down, and lawless. The prison can be found here as can Hell's Hole. Rumor has it that a thieves guild operates out of this quarter.

East Blackwater is the docks. The entire quadrant is either floating or suspended above the water. This area is devoted to seamanship of all sorts.

Central Blackwater is the human district. It is actually quite large, and houses at least half of the non-magical residents of Blackwater. Still, many a monster live among the humans.

Two other areas of note are the dark forest. It houses a great many wild monsters that shouldn't be tampered with. It is to the northwest.
And the dead sea. A particular rock pass that raises ghosts of all sorts. It can be seen from the docks.

You came to Blackwater after being rejected, like so many of your kind. It is time to start a new pack. Or is it a nest? You're not really sure anymore. Your muscles bulge as you walk towards your new home. A small house and a lumbermill is all you have now. That and your second in command. A powerful werepyre, much like yourself, who is very strong and loyal. Its time to start a new life here in this salty town.

You received you mission. You memorized every order and then burned the letter. You poisoned the messenger too. Nothing deadly, just enough to make him forget the last week or so. Your job was simple, there was a rats nest in Blackwater and it is your job to remove it. This isn't your first time doing this and it wont be your last. You have been given a small armsmith to keep you equipped and fund your operation. Its not much, but The Church isn't rich. They also know you can handle it. You arrive at your new home, a small church. You shall live here on these hallowed grounds while you do your holy work. You pray to your patron god, a warm glow illuminates the altar. You finish your rayer and prepare for your work.

You have spent a great many centuries on this world, but yet you never have seen humans sink quite so low as those that live here. Truely this place is vile, and you constantly ask yourself why you stay. Yet still you do. Perhaps you think deep down you can do some good here. Perhaps you are just an elf of habit. Whatever it is that keeps you in this sweaty swine filled sack of a settlement, it really does keep you here.

You have been looking for a place filled with stife, but never did you imagine a place like Blackwater. Murder, thievery, and all sorts of vile acts occur here every day. This place is at war with itself and the idea of cleanliness. Truely a dirty vile place. You think to yourself, 'If I can fix this place, then surely I can change the world.' You establish yourself and purchase a mine. For better or worse, this place will get better.

1 mine- north
1 home - central

After a long hard days work in the chop shop you finally clear that poor bloke's blood off your hands. What a screamer that one was. Torture really is the best seasoning. You return to you home and listen to the sounds of murder as you walk.

 Under the moons green light you looked just as normal as any human. But you knew that, with a tip of the hat, that would change in an instant. Finally you had found a town in need of justice. And its entirely possible that no town needs it more than this one.

Many a dwarf were content to ignore the filth of the chums, but not you. This town was justiceless and lawless and evil. That means a lot of excitement for you. You prepare your hammer for the new days work, you know you will be using it. While other dwarves are out getting hammered, you will be out doing the hammering.

Its been another long hard day of a long hard life. Your work isn't easy and it isn't the cleanest job either. Not to mention the odd hours and the constant murder attempts. Your just now entering Blackwater and you can already tell you're going to do well here. You've already seen several muggings and drug deals. Business is booming. Or it will be once you get Black Talon operational.

Holdings:
1 home- central
1 blacksmith- central
1 human warrior

In addition to your holdings, every player has 500c (coin).

There is one law of the land, don't let humans know you exist. Beyond that, there is no law. Will you rise and fall like the tide? Will the seas run red? Will the sky fill with smoke? Will the walls ooze green slime? Only time will tell.

[LordBucket]

A letter arrives at the estate of Gonil Godsborn, from Lady Aduial

: "Hello, friend dwarf! I am Aduial of the Moriquendi. I see that you have an iron mine. I have no interest in iron, but I do have a use for large quantities of stone. Which, as owner of an iron mine that presumably requires tunnels, I'm guessing you probably have a whole lot of, in massive, ponderous piles of the stuff that you have little use for. I would be interested in the purchase and transport of some of your stone from your stone piles to my holdings in the west. Perhaps enough to build a small keep."

"Unfortunately, with the market not having yet been opened, at the moment I have no idea what anything is worth so it's a bit difficult to come up with an equitable offer. However, I am interested. Would you be interested in sending me some stone?"

[Tack]

A letter arrives at the estate of Gonil Godsborn, from Lady Aduial

Godil takes the dispatch on the way out of his door. He frowns in consternation, before penning a short reply and leaving for the chums.
He also pens a quick order to the foreman of the mines, to attempt to squeeze a little stone out of it. He then hails a carriage and heads for the chums. Hopefully some fool thieves will provide adequate fodder for Godil to get some training on.
Of course, if their ill-gotten gains are to be liberated in the name of Vortas The Light Which Banishes, then as an upstanding clergyman it would be his solemn duty.

A reply quickly arrives to Lady Aduial
:
Stone, yes. But we are an iron mine.
For quarried stone with which you'd build a keep, we cannot supply yet.
I will task miners to begin cutting away excess stone with more care,
but if it impacts upon our earnings of iron, you shall have to pay the excess.
In the meantime you are welcome to buy our pile of rocky refuse for cheap.
Mayhaps you have some spell with which to bind it together.
Yrs. Godil Godsborn

((PTW, Action once spell list is PMed and Market is up))

[Yourmaster]

Alex would look at the buildings, the dock. He would inhale the smell of the sea water and the open air. He knew that while he would need to get more money than from his lumber mill, he would need more of his bonded to be with him. He would Send out his warrior with 250 coin to the East, to collect more werepyers.

[Salsacookies]

Us lunatics would scour southern Blackwater, looking for more of our kind. We'd also begin to sell out cuts of "special meat" to the public. Besides, you are what you eat, right? Begin by sending a sample to the Dwarven District.
To the Orc Lunatic
"eh there! *Smiles a wide, toothy grin* How was work? It's nice being free, dontya think? Love the fresh air, and food is literally everywhere! This is gonna be great, friend, ya know?!"

[Vacio]

Alexander is in the Church of the Sun, current only the green light given from the moon illuminates the church, kneeling as he prays "Denjali, bless this holy man as he is about to tread in dark waters, may your light pierce the darkness.  May it be my guide revealing the creatures of sin so that I may strike it with righteous fury! Blessed is Humanity, those whom stand in Denjali radiance!" Alexander exclaims now raises to face the others who are hidden in the darkness. "The purification begins!"  Alexander raises "Now go forth! With Denjali blessing!"the others leave without a trace. ((Going to Pm their action))

[Spiderking50]

After a temporary disturbance caused by an escaped gribbleback dragon, the market has mostly reopened.

(All prices will change every few weeks due to game mechanics. They may also change abruptly if there is a balance issue.)

Lesser: 25-50c

Real estate:
All 1000+ (I'm going to observe the first couple rounds of buying and selling before I price these.)

Specific services can also be bought. Placing an add (its a free action) is the best way to locate a specific spell or action or whatever. But, once again, you're going to have to do some digging to find some unit types. 

Special services may occasionally appear on the market. As will discounts or sales. In addition, animals of all sorts (mundane and magical) can also be bought. Place an add for these.

If there is something not covered here, let me know and I will price it.

Victor arrives at his rather spartan home in Blackwater's central district and, with the help of his warrior, removes the heavier parts of his armor and rests for a couple of hours.
His thoughts drift to the sights he saw as he entered the city. There is a lot of gold to be made here, that's plain to see, but he also had an odd feeling at the same time. As if the city was off somehow. It wasn't a completely bad feeling, however, as it added to the lucrative and dark allure of the city that drew him to it in the first place. Before he got too into his thoughts he realized that he had to start looking for work. He pulls out some parchment and with a careful hand begins to write out some simple posters advertising his small mercenary group.

Spoiler: The Poster (click to show/hide)

Black Talon Mercenaries.

Expertly trained blades available for hire.
Years of combat experience.
Services available: Sentry, Small Patrols, Escort and Combat Training.
Other services available at inquiry. 
Flexible with payment, will accept coin, resources or other services.
Employment is also offered.
Contracts are to be made at or sent to: [House Address]

He stamps the bottoms of the parchments with the eagle sigil, and hands them to his warrior. After Victor puts his plate armor back on, he commands the warrior to post the advertisements around the district, while Victor himself goes to visit his blacksmith. He tells the master smith to put aside some of his best one-handed swords for personal use. He returns to his home to await for either news or clients and spends most of his time training or sparring with his warrior.     

[Twinwolf]

Katherine has her wizard cast Mage Light in the mine, as opposed to using possibly dangerous fire. She does not yet have anything else to do, other than sell the ore that comes.

[Hiddenleafguy]

Avery looks out one of the windows in his shop, the people passing by. He wondered if any of them needed justice. He turned back to the two pentagrams chalked up on the floor, the candles made of rare materials. He stepped into the larger pentagram and began lighting the candles. And when he was done  He began to chant the holy words, summoning the servant of Vashna. Magical lights danced to the beat of the chant, the energy in the room electrifying, he felt every hair raise, every nerve stand at alert, the candles flickered and turned to a sickly green, and a mist filled the room, he raised the amulet, anchoring Vashna's servant to this plane, and waited for the mist to clear.

[armach]

Victor searches through a business directory in search for a iron supplier who could keep his blacksmith stocked with raw material. It wasn't too hard of a search as he found a suitable candidate rather quickly, a woman by the name of Katherine Dalius. He writes up a simple and flexible contract and places it in a secure pocket. He informs his warrior that he will be heading out for a while and that he's in charge until he gets back. Victor makes his way to Dalius' home and knocks on her door.

[Twinwolf]

She answers it very quickly. "Yes?"

[armach]

"I'm Victor Silverio, captain of a local mercenary group named Black Talon. I'm aware that you own an iron mine in the northern district, I'm here to offer you a business contract. Would you be interested?"

[Twinwolf]

Mercenary group. Bad for peace... but I need connections, before anything.

"Come inside." she says, leading him to the dining room. "What do you have in mind?" she says, sitting down and motioning for him to do the same.
