(Clan) Olath Dro

*"Tatooine had Mos Isley. The Pirates of the Caribbean had Tortuga. The USA has Las Vegas.*
*Now the land of Haethis has **Olath Dro**."*

Built in the depths of a great cavern, the city of Olath Dro is newly founded, funded and growing like the glowing toadstools that give it light. This dimly lit city is home to a tiny population of inky skinned refugee elves calling themselves Drow. These curious outlanders play a significant role in Olath Dro, but it is House Larethian, comprised of Haethian elf blood, which rules the city, funding its protection and overseeing its laws and economy. Lord Selakir, a Baron's half-breed, has established himself as Marquis de Olath Dro and offered safe haven to all (mostly to outcasts, outlaws and rejects from the shining capital of Lavenir). Monstrous half-breeds (such as half-orcs) and the afflicted are more likely to find business in the city, and while sorcery is not encouraged, it is more tolerated in the city of Dark Life than anywhere else. Cultists of outlander gods and the followers of Veros will find themselves in tolerant or even friendly company within Olath Dro.

## Major Exports

Olath Dro's major exports include fish, mushrooms, and absinthe.

## Notable Buildings

City Jail

Prominently displayed just inside the city gates, the jailhouse is a warning to citizens and visitors alike that lawlessness will not be tolerated. The city guard, supervised by the Sheriff, are ever watchful and quick to incarcerate those who disrupt the harmony.

The Black Cherry

This Tavern (and brothel) is the hub of activity in Olath Dro, providing food, drink, entertainment and lodging to its denizens...for a price, of course.

City Hall

Ruling quietly from the back of the city scape, City Hall is literally the seat of power where the Marquis sits upon his throne and grants audience to his people's and visitors' business alike. Those of a more noble status may find themselves dining with the Marquis or invited to gala in the ballroom.

## Notable Persons

Lord Selakir of House Larethian, Marquis de Olath Dro (Player)

Known for being charming and friendly, his confidence and warm smiles are known to sway even the most stubborn of dissenters. He has sit on the throne a very short time, and only time will tell what kind of ruler he shall be. Yet, by his decree, no citizen of Olath Dro goes hungry with free fish and mushrooms available to those citizens who cannot otherwise feed themselves.

Baron Laneden of House Larethian, Count de Olath Dro (NPC)

Not well known at all save as the Baron and Patriarch of House Larethian, Lanaden keeps to the background, likely enjoying his hunts away from the masses.

Lady Shyntana, Drow Ambassador (Player)

This quiet dignitary councils the Marquis on the ways and needs of the Drow in Olath Dro. It is also rumored that she is afforded her position because she is the Marquis's lover.

Luajratana (NPC)

Usually found cooking the free fish for those who hunger, some consider her the unofficial leader of the Drow refugees.

Mr. Daron (Player)

Proprietor of The Black Cherry

Demyra (NPC)

Lead Dancer and Madam at The Black Cherry

## Allegiences

House Larethian continues to maintain good trade relations with Lavenir despite no longer serving their role as scholars and scribes in the Anethaeum.

Olath Dro has pledged to send its convicted criminals to The Red Gate to serve. They also make regular shipments of fish and mushrooms to the Gate to add to their supplies.
