Usk

## Summary

A city built by merchants for merchants, considered by many the best entrance into Nasyan, and the only true exit. It is protected by those of the swamp/marshlands and those who would like their secrets kept behind the Rawlin and Ahnk Hills.

With many years of changes and magistrate shifts, the current head of the Gold Fangs sits as their DeFacto leader. As the rains continued to pummel down into the lowlands the Lying river twitched and grew in strength.  The city stands as a tesemant of structural genius and marvel. A more modern construction when compared to the rushed and mash up of styles of the capital.

Nothing gets through Usk that doesn't have a Gold Fang stamp of approval. There are many dangers in Nasyan and not all of them are the people.

## History

Current - The City had a forceful rebranding and change of leadership.

## Notable Organizations/Groups:

### The Gold Fangs Trading Company

A group of Lizardfolk, Tortle and Sahuagin thugs that rosed to rank during the apocalypse and the fall of the faithful. A challenge to their authority can come at a high price seeing they've held their seat for almost 20 years. King Goldfang sits as their chosen monarch.

### Iron and Blood Lumber Company

Mix of multicultural loggers who utilize the Lying river to export things out of the swamp. They are very superstitious and pray to Obad-Hai and Silvanus, though some of those prayers have been answered by a new good many are calling the Hungry One. Their leaders are the Ironfist Twins.

### Carrion Swamp Travel Guides
