## Organiztions

### The Bronze Bank

The Bronze Bank is an extremely wealthy bank that has its headquarters in Warrendeep City. It's moneylenders are vicious, cunning and always seem to get their way. The Bronze Bank, unlike the aristocratic Fortuso Bank in Redwain, puts more focus on the lower classes, earning most of its revenue through its malicious loans, and risky investments. The Vault of the Bronze Bank is commonly touted as the most secure building on Trea.

The Bronze Bank is utterly ruthless with its loans, and shows no tolerance for those who fail to pay their dues. Enforcing this, the Bronze Bank employs several massive wereshark enforcers who make sure the Bank's loans are repaid. Some suspect the weresharks are bred with aid of the Platinum Laboratory, who allegedly have a farm in **The Deepwarren Network** where they breed the poor wretches of the sewers with weresharks to create ever bigger and stronger specimens.

### **The Platinum Laboratory**

The Platinum Laboratory is a faction of alchemists, scientists and artificers who strive to further technological knowledge at all costs. Their methods are crude, deceitful and highly unethical. They perform inhumane experiments, steal patents away from poor inventors and construct building projects with little regard to local ecology, public safety or aesthetics. Their position is largely uncontested as the Chief Articer has a position on the Council of Vaulters and so ensures that no restrictions or punishments befall his scientists.

### **Warrendeep Wrestling Federation**

The Warrendeep Wrestling Federation (WWF) is a professional wrestling league that puts on shows weekly with elaborate stories and larger than life personalities. The shows are a local attraction drawing in thousands each week to watch their favourite wrestlers throw down in the ring.

Matches are performed every week with a unique stipulation. 3 out of the 4 monthly shows performed by the Warrendeep Federation are scripted and follow along with the storyline as established by the writers and the wrestlers themselves, however, once a month, unbeknownst to the audience, one show is not scripted and instead the wrestlers in the federation go out into the arena with the intention of truly fighting their opponents. During this they no longer fake punches, dives and splash fake blood, but instead sustain real damage, get knocked down for real, and bleed real blood. It is not unccommon for a wrestlers storyline to be cut short because during the secretive real bout of wrestling they suffered debiliating injuries or even die. As a result of this, every month the audience doesn't know whether what they're watching is a part of the story or genuine bloodshed.

## Government

The Warrendeep Government is organized on a direct metric of wealth. The House of Legislation, which governs the city goes by a vote system whereby those who exceede certain wealth thresholds gain more votes in the house. A simple worker holds 1 vote, while the head of a massive corporation could hold thousands of votes. For example the High Vaulter Goldwyn, the richest man in Warrendeep, due to his immense wealth can utilize over 400,000 votes to influence what laws get passed, what gets exported or imported, what corporations see higher tax and even how the legal process is carried out.

The Plutocratic Council of Vaulters conduct their meetings inside the Vault of the Bronze Bank and are made up of the following people:

* High Vaulter Goldwynn - Wealthiest man in Warrendeep City, made his fortune after slaying a red dragon.
* Vaulter Clink-Clink - Kenku Owner of the Bronze Bank
* Vaulter Mercurion - Halfling Chief Artificer in the Platinum Laboratory
* Vaulter Taarius - Earth Genasi owner of numerous lucrative mines. Has modified his rocky skin to resemble gold ore.
* Vaulter Mahaq-Shal - Tiefling casino owner and famous gambler.
* Vaulter 'Prince' Mac Mahon - Dwarven owner of the Warrendeep Wrestling Federation
* Vaulter Xaka - Chief Commissioner of the Brass Tube Network
* Vaulter Pierre - Redweni con-man who won the Warrendeep Lottery back to back.
* Vaulter Salvatore Raspoli - The last media tycoon.

## The Deepwarren Network

**The Deepwarren Network** known to locals as **The Kreeltch** is a massive sprawling region originated from the sewers of Warrendeep City. Although The Deepwarren Network is not officially reckognized as a city, due to its sheer size and its gargantuan population many regard The Kreeltch as a city independent from Warrendeep City. The true expanse of the network and its total population is largely unknown to the public. Its ever winding tunnels have been known to reach as far of The Red City in Redwain, over 100 kilometers away with some even believing the tunnels span the entirety of the continent of Moro itself.

## Inhabitants

The Kreeltch is populated largely by a sentient race of rat people that were created by Platinum Laboratory hundreds years ago. The Kreel escaped confinement and rapidly spread into the Deepwarren Network away from their captors after generations of cruel experimentation. The Kreel have adapted to life in the sewers of Warreendeep City by creating settlements in large pipes and adapting to consume the sludge that trickles down from the city above ground. The Kreel are the most populated intelligent race on Moro but due to their living conditions aren't readily known.

The Kreel have their own language called Kreelspeek that blends elements of Common, Dwarven and certain Elven dialects.
