Redreach

The formidable city of Redreach, where the banners unfurl in a deep, dark red hue that signifies a realm steeped in conflict and ruled by a sense of vengeful purpose. Nestled on the edge of a sprawling forest, Redreach stands as a bastion of dishonour and formidable skill, where its inhabitants, renowned for their prowess in combat, navigate a world tainted by vagabonds and rampant banditry.
== Description ==
The architecture of Redreach echoes the harshness of its people, with stone structures rising in defiance against the backdrop of the dense forest. The city streets, narrow and winding, bustle with the energy of those who thrive in the shadows, a testament to the dishonourable reputation that precedes Redreach.
In the heart of the city lies the Crimson Blade Guild, a shadowy consortium of highly skilled warriors and mercenaries. Here, those who seek retribution and ruthless vengeance hone their combat skills, offering their services to the highest bidder. The guildmaster, known only as The Bloodhound, is a figure shrouded in mystery, orchestrating clandestine dealings from the shadows.
Redreach's marketplace, known as the Scarlet Bazaar, is a chaotic congregation of traders and peddlers, offering wares that range from stolen treasures to illicit goods. Among the stalls, the Whispering Dagger, a secretive weaponsmith, forges blades of unparalleled sharpness, catering to those who value the art of treacherous combat.
The Brooding Boar Inn, a haven for miscreants and rebels, stands as the city's notorious watering hole. Its proprietor, Ravos, is rumoured to have ties to the city's underbelly, providing shelter to those who thrive on the fringes of society.
The Hidden Veil Apothecary, nestled in the shadows of the city, is infamous for concocting poisons and elixirs that mirror the dark intentions of its patrons. The apothecary, Morgana Shadowleaf, caters to those who seek to tip the scales of battle in their favour through nefarious means.
The Spattered Pits, a bloodstained battleground surrounded by towering stone walls, hosts gladiatorial contests that showcase the city's ruthless fighters. The cheers of the crowd and the clash of weapons echo through the arena as warriors, driven by vengeance and dishonor, vie for supremacy.
Redreach's ruler, King Fearghas Sloani, is a merciless monarch known for his iron-fisted rule. However, the laws of the land are seldom enforced, and the city thrives on an atmosphere of lawlessness where the vengeful and dishonourable flourish.
In Redreach, where dark red banners flutter in the wind, the people's skills in combat are as sharp as the blades they wield. This city, on the fringes of the forest, is a realm where vengeance is a way of life, and dishonour is a mark of distinction among the shadows.
== The Revelry of Rogues ==
As Autumn comes, the people of Redreach celebrate the Revelry of Rogues. A dangerous festival of sorts, but a fine opportunity for lawmakers and breakers. The finest smiths from across the continent come to test their creations of safes and lockboxes, with a large prize for any that cannot be unlocked. 
A competition in stealth and assassination also takes place, where competitors wear red sashes that must be collected. When one loses their sash, they have been 'assassinated'. 
This is also a time where crime in the city is at its highest, as the drunken stupor of rogues and bandits turn to brash actions. Whether it be theft, assault or murder, many a citizen will spend much of the festivities in the cells below the keep.
