Slave Market

The Slave Market technically houses no slaves. Officially, all who live here are "indentured servants," only servants by contract and only for specified lengths of time. Any able-bodied individual looking for steady work may come to the Indentureship Signing and Leasing Office and sign a contract, usually for 3-5 years, as an indentured servant. The standard indentureship contract guarantees all who sign it 2 warm meals per day, a bed, and 2 silver pieces per week. The Onica family, who run the indentured servant business, will then lease their servants out to other businesses, families, or anyone else who can afford them. The servants get steady work and pay, the Onicas get all profits, and both usually walk away from the deal satisfied.

There are drawbacks to being indentured, however. If someone breaks a contract or tries to leave it early, they will owe the Onicas the value of all the room and board they have been provided as well as all the coin they were projected to make. usually specified in the contract at signing. If the person can't afford to pay, and they usually can't, then they will be forced to work their debt off in Camp Ironwall, a massive labor camp just inside the eastern Scar between the Diamond District and the Temple District. If they attempt to flee, they may find themselves being chased by the Coursers, a guild of bounty hunters who are officially sanctioned to hunt and capture or kill any quarries they have within Surket by any means. They have even been known to venture far beyond Surket to claim a bounty if it is good enough.

The Slave Market itself is arranged much like a military barracks would be. There are rows and rows of dormitories for the indentured servants, as well as dozens of essential and luxury goods stores like groceries, tailors, butchers, and the like. These shops are catered toward the indentured servants and generally offer affordable goods with very little overhead, with most being owned by the Onicas as well. Servants can even order goods on credit, having a lump sum taken from their 2 silver stipend every week until they have paid in full. What isn't housing and shopping for the slaves is generally warehouse storage and specialty goods. The Slave Market is the home of Surket's luxury and exotic pet trade, and regularly brings in rare and magical beasts for the rich, eccentric, and/or scholarly.

As mentioned, the Slave Market is owned and run by the Onicas. Faya Onica, the matriarch of the family, runs the indentureship business and handles most of the family business while her son, Miguel, is slowly beginning to take over by bits and pieces. Faya represents the district as Consul to the Council of Surket.

Slum City

Slum City, or the West Harbor District, is a maze of shanties and slums that occupy the northwest of Surket. This district is home to the incredibly poor, sick, and otherwise destitute. Gangs roam the neighborhoods, fighting for control over what little resources they have. The sick and the dying line the narrow and crowded streets. Disease and refuse are common sights and smells as the sewage and refuse from the rest of the city gets dumped here by the Crimson River, which falls into the western Scar and runs right through the district. The Crimson regularly floods, wiping out whole swaths of Slum City when it does.

Life in Slum City is difficult, and the citizens within get by any way that they can. Therefore, it is not uncommon for people here to worship demons, devils, fey, and all manner of other morally ambiguous or just plain evil figures. Cults are a frequent occurrence. Recently, a new cult has begun to grow in the district called the Disciples of Pestilence. They believe that the Crimson River itself is the physical embodiment of the first Horseman, Pestilence, and that it is their duty to spread the plague it carries to the city in the hopes of bringing on the apocalypse. So far, they have not been successful, primarily due to their small size and the fact that most members are too diseased to travel very far. They make their home in a barely-held together scrapheap that they refer to as the Temple of Bile.

There is no official rule of law in Slum City. The Ipso Family, who own the land, only use it as a means to farm coin out of the already dirt poor residents. They produce a highly addictive drug called Dust within the district in their factory near the docks and distribute it to all who can afford it within the district. Almost all citizens of Slum City are addicted to it and a fine powder covers virtually every surface. One can actually tell which areas of the district are safest from floods by seeing where the powder lies the heaviest. The Society for Ethical Necromantic Arts (SENA) run a small clinic in the district to treat the addiction, but they are regularly swamped with injuries from gang violence, disease, and just about everything else to be able to effectively manage.

University District

The University District, unsurprisingly, houses the University of Surket, the city’s institution of higher education. Scholars and mages alike flock to this district, utilizing the many resources of the university, including its portal to Everstone, where it can access the even vaster library of knowledge housed by the Council of Everstone.  Diviners and magi flock to the orrery housed by the university to glean meaning in the intricate dances of the heavens, while those who seek knowledge of the past can access the Surket History Museum, which houses the largest collection of early human artifacts in the world.

Aside from the university itself, this district also is the home of numerous wizards and other mages, who all seek the resources of the university but are not affiliated with it in an official capacity. Wizard towers shoot out of the streets like beanstalks, towering precariously over the denizens below. Loud noises and mysterious odors can often be heard and smells emanating from these towers, but most of the residents agree not to question it.

With so many wizards and scholars often comes cliques and secret societies.  While ancient demon worship is quite common for academic purposes, the most dangerous and infamous of these secret societies is known as the Magisterium Arcanex, which dabbles in chronomancy, the manipulation of time itself.  While they have not done anything noteworthy in Surket, they are responsible for the infamous Tyrisian Warp, which rendered an entire town trapped in a time loop that still has not been resolved.

The University District is owned by the University of Surket, whose dean appoints a Consul to administrate the district and act as the voice for it in the Council of Surket.  The current Consul is Solrel Galwin, who is the only full-blooded elf currently on the Council.

Eastgate

Eastgate is the quietest and smallest district by size in Surket.  In fact, many who enter it admit that, had they not known it was connected to Surket, they would have assumed they were in a fishing village.  The district has a small dock mainly housing fishing boats, a sizeable fish market that is frequently visited by people from all across Surket, a large lighthouse, and lots of small shacks, taverns, and bunkhouses.

The Consul for the district is Sylvester Salk, who owns most of the fishing fleet, the lighthouse, and the mansion right next to it.  Despite his fortune, he operates the lighthouse himself and lives in a cottage next door.  Many claim he has gone insane and now worships some sort of aberration from the sea. What is also troubling is the frequent rate at which people in Eastgate go missing, only to turn up a few weeks later with no memory of where they were.

Despite the many anomalies in the district, it is still regarded by most as a quiet and peaceful place.  It sees light traffic from the east, which is mainly badland and the occasionally mining settlement near the mountains.  Sometimes a caravan of elves from Solheven to the far north cross over Vanindor’s Bridge and come to Surket to trade, but tensions between Solheven and the Order of the Holy Flame, who control the territory, have been high as of late.

The district regularly ferries people across to Cypress Isle and back, but its main business is fishing.  Hundreds of fishermen live along the docks in shacks and bunkhouses, all sailing out every morning to fish for what they can.  Some venture quite far out into the Veridian Sea and a few have even been known to travel through the Golden Canal and fish in the Auric Ocean.  Many work for Sylvester Salk, who rarely regulates or manages his fishing boats, instead taking a small cut off the top and allowing the fishermen to regulate themselves.  Occasionally, merfolk have been reportedly sighted at the docks occasionally, but this is not considered normal and no merfolk kingdoms exist nearby.

Sunset District

The Sunset District is the home of Surket's night life, home to more brothels and bars than any other district. Casinos, brothels, nightclubs, and all sorts of other forms of entertainment and pleasure fill the streets, which are bustling with activity every night. People from all across Surket flock here nightly to spend their hard-earned pay for some creature comforts.

Desire is the cardinal sin of the Sunset District, and all within it feel it. The Echo family runs the district from their casino and brothel The Siren's Song. If the Sunset District feeds on desire then Luna Echo is that desire incarnate. She is rumored to be half succubus, preying upon the weak willed atop her casino empire. In truth, she is simply a powerful and sharp businesswoman, using others' baser instincts against them with powerful enchantments and illusions. She controls much of the district and acts as Consul to the Council of Surket.

If drink or sex aren't your forte, the Sunset District has more it can offer. The Pit is a massive underground fighting ring where people square off against wild animals or each other in fights to the death. Thousands gather every night to watch the bloody affairs, often gambling on who or what will win. The Pit is run by the Fredis family, lead by notorious gangster Freddy Fredis. The Pit has been growing in popularity, and the Fredis family has been buying out more and more of the Sunset District recently. Most believe that there will be something of a war between the Echos and the Fredises soon, though both have so far been coldly polite with one another.

As the hub of night life, the Sunset District shines like a beacon for all the creatures that lurk in the darkness and prey upon the mortal world. That is why the Sunset District is home to an order of inquisitors known as the Guardians of the Dawn. They protect the district from vampires and other undead who prowl around at night. Due to the secretive nature of the creatures they hunt, the Guardians generally do not make themselves known among the population, instead preferring to wander the Sunset District undercover, only exposing themselves when they have to.

Other features of the Sunset District include a modest Society for Ethical Necromantic Arts (SENA) clinic that specializes in treating alcohol poisoning and sexually transmitted diseases. There is also the Surket-famous Merry Manticore Brewing Company, which has numerous branches within the city. The Bardic Inspiration Bar and Inn also regularly features live music, which people flock to see as many up-and-coming bards play there. Finally, there is the Lazarus Lounge, a nightclub near the cliffs that is frequented by several of the city's elite.

West Scar (District)

This district is so named because it lies upon the slope of the western Scar, the network of gorges that weave through the city. It houses most of the embassies and nonessential government offices as well as lawyers and other white-collar industries. The district dips down into the Scar, giving it a wave-like appearance and terracing business fronts to the very edge of the Scar itself, with some buildings teetering over the edge. Bridges between buildings are common and iron and concrete are regularly used for construction, giving it a very unique appearance.

This district notably houses the *Surket City Review*, the most popular newspaper in Surket. The paper delivers to the entire city daily, and is the only free regular newspaper in the world. The *Review* is owned by the Edelon family, but most agree that it is generally fair with its journalism. The Edelon family itself is notorious for its regular humanitarian efforts and charitable acts. Even the newspaper's intended purpose is to keep the public informed. Elijah Edelon, the patriarch and Consul for the Council of Surket, personally invited the Society for Ethical Necromantic Arts (SENA) to Surket and funded their hospital. He also funds the Obdurate Heights Orphanage in Longwall and regularly hosts charity drives for various humanitarian programs.

While the district might be a hustle and bustle of activity during the day, the real action occurs at night. The diplomats, lawyers, and businessmen regularly host lavish parties where they make diplomatic and business deals. The rich and the powerful conduct their intrigue behind the doors of the embassies and penthouses that dot the district, and spies are a common occurence.

House of Whispers (Faction)

The House of Whispers is a mysterious group of information brokers housed within the building of the same name in the Diamond District of Surket. The tellers who operate as the face of the business sell information to anyone willing to pay the price. They have info on the latest gossip, scandalous affairs, dirty habits, and deep dark secrets. They often even have information that seems impossible to know, like closely guarded trade secrets, though they rarely sell these without significant compensation.

Aside from selling secrets, they also can be paid to keep them. It is a common practice for the rich and powerful to counter-offer the House of Whispers to keep a secret hidden. The Phoenix family, for instance, has kept the exact nature of Arcade Phoenix's health issues under wraps by paying the House a healthy sum to keep quiet. Still, paying them off is always a wager, since they will always take the highest bidder.

Nobody is exactly sure how they get all their secrets. Many of them are acquired through trades; secrets for secrets. It is unknown if they actually have a spy network, or if people simply sell secrets often enough for them to accrue them as much as they do. Nobody knows how they acquire some of their deeper knowledge either. Some have speculated that they have some sort of serious divination magic, while others have suggested that they employ oracles. The tellers within all have pupils that take up most of their eyes, so there is clearly some level of magic involved, but the exact nature is unknown. What is known is that they are aware of most everything that happens within Surket, and are willing to sell any of it for the right price.
The Bazaar (District)

The Bazaar is so named because of the massive marketplace that dominates the district. The bazaar itself covers nearly half the district by area, with the rest being filled with shops, restaurants, businesses, and banks. The largest of these banks is the Bank of Surket, which owns nearly the entire district and a decent amount of the rest of the city as well.

The district lies between Hightown and Lowtown, climbing the hill to the upper part of the city. The shops and buildings alternate between rising up at odd angles due to the slope and terracing themselves with stairs leading up. The bazaar itself is built at an angle, which makes most people shop from west to east, going downhill the whole time. Rickshaws wait at the bottom to pull people back up the hill when they are finished walking through, and the stalls at the top are far more valuable than the ones near the bottom. Anyone may bring their wares to sell at the bazaar, but there is a limited amount of space. People pay exorbitant sums to keep their stalls at the top.

The Keth family owns the Bank of Surket and therefore the Bazaar. Amir Keth acts as the Consul, but he is never seen without his wife, Penelope, nearby. The two of them are ruthless negotiators in business and are considered something of a power couple. The Keth Family is considered one of the Big 3 within the Great Families, with the Phoenix and the Amunir families being the other two strongest of the Great Families.

Cypress Isle

Cypress Isle is the newest district incorporated into the city, only being made an official part of it 30 years ago following the dissolution of the Surket Navy.  The district has been lived in for millennia, and has several notable ruins and ancient buildings that have been repurposed for its modern residents.

Presently and for the last 30 years, Cypress Isle has been run by the Scarlet Sails.  The privateer armada settled there following an agreement made between them and the Council of Surket that stated their island would be made a part an official part of Surket as long as the Scarlet Sails protected Surket by sea and allowed the free flow of ships in and out.

Before the island was run by the Scarlet Sails, it saw repeated use and abandonment over the 6000 years Surket has existed.  It has served as a smugglers den, a monastery, there was even a fortress and a wizard tower built on it at some point.  None of them stuck, however.  Only few traces of their existence can be found since most of the materials for each were recycled and reused for each subsequent life of this island.

One notable remnant of the past settlements on the island are the Three Shieldmaidens, three enormous statues of women adorned in classic late Ozymandium armor, one holding a spear, one a sword and shield, and the one in the center holding a torch with her other arm outstretched, ordering some unknown enemy to halt.  These statues were made out of copper, now colored a light green.

There are a few warehouses by the docks, several brothels for all preferences, taverns for drinking, and numerous small shacks and bunkhouses for pirates ashore.  There is a modest lighthouse and the much less modest Governor’s mansion.  Anyone around can vote for the governor of Cypress Isle when they hold the elections every three years.  Usually, this boils down to everyone or nearly everyone voting how the Admiral votes.  Admiral Benjamin Byrd currently endorses Hades Hawkins, and so that is who is in office.  The Governor acts as the administrator for the district and its representative for the Council of Surket.  Hades is a tiefling and embraces his devilish looks as he negotiates with the rich and powerful of the city.  Despite his looks and persona, Hawkins has been one of the largest contributors to humanitarian efforts in the city, second only to Elijah Edelon.

Diamond District

The Diamond District lies upon a bluff in between the western and eastern Scar, separating it physically from the rest of the city. This district houses many of the most powerful people in the city, and cannot even be entered without passing a credit check to prove you can afford to be here. If you do make it past the gatehouses, you will find wide, ornate brick streets lined with high-end shops, boutiques, restaurants, and parks. Go deeper into the district and you will be walking past mansions, plazas, statues, and gardens.

The residents of the Diamond District are rich and powerful, and they like to show it. Their eccentric and lavish lifestyles are on full display here, with many strutting around the plazas in the latest fashions and with rare and exotic pets. The Aloysius Hunting Lodge can be found here, which is a full-blown hunting lodge sitting in the center of the city. The patrons of the lodge are a group of "sportsmen" who dress up as big game hunters and attend the lodge regularly, though nobody has actually seen them hunt anything. Also famous within the Diamond District is the House of Whispers, a group that acts as information brokers from their mysterious compound in the center of the district. Over along the northern edge of the cliffs overlooking the Slave Market is Fort Windstrom where the renowned Crimson Drakes reside. This band of mercenaries ride drakes into battle and can often be seen training them on the cliff and in the air around the fortress.

The Phoenix family rule over the Diamond District and are one of the Triumvirate, the three most powerful families in Surket. The family's patriarch, Arcade Phoenix has been the Speaker for the Council of Surket for 34 years, promoting stability and unity within. Unfortunately, he hasn't been attending meetings for the last few months as rumors grow about his failing health and his daughter, Andromeda, has been acting as a consul in his stead. She is young and is not as well-respected as her father, which is leading the other Great Families to begin to make plays and moves against her.

South End

South End is a turbulent and ever-changing district. The district is filled with those of Crimson Desert heritage, and it shows.  The streets are regularly filled with booths and tents set up by roving traders looking to peddle goods brought in from the caravans.  Also common here are bands of entertainers, bards, and fortune tellers who sell their trades as they pass through from the east, west, and south.

Even the permanent buildings here have a temporary air about them, with the residents regularly hanging new awnings and banners of different colors for every season.  No building here is particularly lavish, with most being very utilitarian in appearance but decorated with prismatic banners to give it life. Even the rulers of the district, the Akhni family, live in a simple, albeit large, adobe building.

Orin Akhni is the head of the Akhni family, who have ruled over South End since it was founded in 1350 BA.  They are the descendents of the great chief Sargoth Akhni. While not considered one of the Great Families, the Akhni family is sometimes referred to as the “Tenth House” because of their similarities to the other families and their ancient ties to the city.

Almost all the money that flows through South End does so through the Crimson Caravan Company, which is the only caravan that can make it across the Crimson Desert and reach the civilizations in the south. They are not Surketians, and most do not even speak the common tongue, but they sell many rare goods to traders in Surket and tell wild tales of the southern lands beyond the Crimson to children eager to listen around the campfires at night.

With the rise of Infernia and her Crimson Legion in the last few years, South End has grown tense.  A mysterious terrorist group known as the Red Hand has left their mark on the district, attacking anyone who speaks out against the Legion and its attack on Oristan.  The Cult of Shelovra, the demon lord of werebeasts, has grown from a fringe group into the center of South End culture as a shrine to the demon lord was erected near the gates to the city.  The demon cult hasn’t existed in a thousand years since the height of Aquian power, but its popularity is at an all time high, leading some to believe that the demon lord is planning a return to the mortal plane.

Westgate

Westgate houses one of three entrances into Surket, with the other being in Eastgate and South End. This district is notable for its Oristani heritage and cultural influences. Most of the families that live here have their origins in the western nation of Oristan, and it shows. The buildings are a strange but pleasing blend of Oristani and Surketian architecture, with adobe bricks, arched doorways and domed roofs being a common sight. The best example of this fusion is the Temple of Desh, which features seventeen domes all adorned in gold.

Many residents of Westgate practice Deshta, the teachings of the prophet Desh. Deshta is one of the few religions banned by the Temple District, and cannot be freely worshipped there. As such, the citizens of Westgate built a temple within their own district and practice Deshta regularly within. The Pharaoh, usually lenient about other religions, has declared Deshta heresy. The actual followers of Deshta are fairly quiet about their opposition, though they might quietly grumble. Instead, they focus on strengthening their own faith and growing it through action and service. A few of the more radical followers of Deshta, however, have begun a resistance movement known as the Blade of Retribution. So far, they have been peaceful, simply protesting publicly and trying to increase awareness. As they grow, some predict they may seek more radical action, which has all other religious factions nervous.

The district is filled with shops and inns that are generally bustling with caravans that travel the Iron Highway between Surket and Oristan. Practicers of Deshta don't drink, so there isn't much in the way of late-night entertainment within. Instead, people come here for the fine crafts, wineries, and other artisanal goods that are peddled here. Most of these are multi-generational family businesses, and sometimes can have a wide range of goods being sold due to family interests. Possibly the most extreme example of this is the Butcher Baker Soldier Maker; a bakery, meat market, and armory all rolled into one.

Westgate allows all land-owning residents to vote for a mayor. This vote occurs every two years on the spring equinox. It is the mayor's job to coordinate the volunteer police and militia force and to act as the Consul for the Council of Surket. The current mayor is Abdul Almanda, who has served as mayor for three years now. He is the only open follower of Deshta on the Council of Surket. There are no taxes in Westgate, but there is an expectation that everyone will chip in and donate to the Temple of Desh, who use the coin to improve and maintain the district. They redistribute it into the militia, police force, infrastructure, and welfare for all citizens, whether they follow Deshta or not. It is expected that all who have excess will donate most of it to the Temple of Deshta, and nearly every business in the district does so.

Storyteller Fountain

The Storyteller Fountain is a wishing fountain that lies within Akhati Park in front of the Gardens Amphitheatre. The statue is made of marble and is known to have been in Akhati Park since at least the year 1700 BA, though its exact origins are unknown. Aspiring artists and performers will drop coins into the fountain as a way of gaining good luck from the Storyteller. It is tradition for anyone performing in the Amphitheatre to toss a coin in the fountain before a performance.

The Storyteller is the common name for Elaedriel, the elven deity of stories, songs, tricks, luck, and travel, among other things. While many elven depictions of the deity cast the deity in a feminine light, stories about the Storyteller vary wildly in descriptions of the god. As a notorious shapeshifter, the Storyteller Fountain depicts a vaguely humanoid individual with no face under a hood and a travelling cloak. People adorn the marble statue with bright silks and garments that change regularly and give the statue some serious color. The fountain is usually filled with copper and occasionally silver pieces, which few dare to steal. It is said that to steal from the fountain is to invite bad luck wherever you go.
East Harbor

East Harbor is often compared to its neighbor the Sunset District. For as active as the Sunset District is during the night, East Harbor is the opposite. All day, ships are coming in and out of its bustling docks, dropping off supplies and shipping out new ones. The warehouses are constantly moving goods onto and off of ships, and large wagons move goods throughout the rest of the city. Once night rolls around, the entire district becomes nearly deadly quiet. Most of the rowdier sailors and workers go to the Sunset District, and the ones who don't drink quietly in their bunkhouses or sleep.

That isn't to say the district is entirely quiet at night. The Stormwind Mafia operates out of the East Harbor and uses the docks for smuggling goods in and out of Surket without paying tariffs. The Red Foxes are also infamous for having a hidden base somewhere within this district, though all attempts to flush them out have been met with failure. This notorious gang of thieves has robbed from nearly every noble family in the city. Any attempt to find them or arrest them fails, partly because of the Vakari family's refusal to allow outside investigators into its district.

As mentioned, the Vakari family run the district. The patriarch, Alistair Vakari, is a reclusive man who has not been seen publicly in years. His son, Damien, often acts in his stead at Council of Surket meetings and is nearly as reclusive, but he can be seen enjoying the opera nearly every weekend in the Gardens. The two live in a manor near the shore, which is only ever visited regularly by Dr. Vladimir Stanislovsky, the personal physician for the family. His frequent visits have prompted many to speculate that Alistair has some sort of serious condition. Some even say that the Vakari family is cursed, and that the doctor is there to help treat their condition as they grow. The family has never been seen in the Temple District for worship or devotion, and so it is believed by some that the gods have cursed them to be terribly ill.

The Gardens (District)

In 3211 BA, Nebuk Akhati declared that his district would become the most beautiful district. He set about having his vast network of servants and slaves plant gardens along every street, hanging from the roofs, and set aside a huge space along the Crimson River for a park to fill with all kinds of exotic and beautiful plants. Ever since then, the district has been simply referred to as the Gardens.

The Gardens is a district notable for its many hanging gardens on the buildings and its plethora of exotic plants that grow in the gardens and parks found within. Most notably is the collection of plants found in Akhati Park that are now mostly extinct in their native environments. The many gardens are tended to by a group known as the Preservationists, who are dedicated to preserving the natural beauty of the district. They take their job very seriously, and have even been known to get violent against those whom they feel are desecrating or disrupting the natural beauty.

The district is filled with manors, parks, gardens, and theatres. The largest park is Akhati Park, which covers roughly half the district. There are several theatres and opera houses found within the district, all of which are frequently attended by the rich and powerful of Surket. The district represents the cultural center of the city, and many seeking fame and fortune through the arts venture here to ply their trade.

This district has a much darker side as well. Because the rich and powerful frequent it so much, this district has become the center of gossip and rumor within the city. Not only that, but the infamous band of assassins, the Silent Sisters, are known to operate out of this district, often meeting people for contracts while attending the opera. Recently, the Syndicate of Blades have also begun to operate out of the Gardens recently, and the two factions are said to be in something of a shadow war at the moment.

The district is run by Vincent Akhati, the only surviving member of the Akhati family after his parents both died in a tragic accident last year. The 22 year old is the youngest Consul for the Council of Surket and is a notorious playboy, hosting lavish parties that even the Pharaoh herself attends frequently.

Ipso Family

The Ipso family is one of the nine Great Families of Surket, each of which represents one of the original nine districts of the city. The Ipsos rule over the West Harbor District, more commonly known as Slum City. The family has historically been one of the weakest of the Great Families, but recently has grown significantly in power due to its growing business ventures.

The Ipsos are perhaps the most well known for controlling Slum City through stoking the many gangs who call the district home and for producing the highly addictive substance Dust. They push Dust upon the people of Slum City and beyond through their factory within the district that they produce it within. The patriarch, Luther Ipso, regularly moves his Dust product through the gangs, purposely keeping any one from becoming too powerful. Recently, the Ipsos have expanded their Dust business to the Slave Market and the Sunset District. The Onica family, who run the Slave Market, have outlawed the substance within their district, but so far the Echo family has done nothing to prevent its spread through the Sunset District, where it has had minimal success competing with the many other recreational drugs available.

It is a commonly known fact that few of the other families enjoy doing business with the Ipsos. They are largely viewed as weak and greedy, and while Dust is perfectly legal, it is frowned upon more than other addictive substances because of the destructive side effects. They also own a few other businesses, but have been systematically muscled out by other, more powerful families like the Keths.

## Behind the Scenes

* Blade in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is the second live-action incarnation of the character, following an incarnation portrayed by both Wesley Snipes and Sticky Fingaz.
	+ Before Mahershala Ali was cast, Wesley Snipes mentioned during an interview with *Deadline Hollywood* back in July 2015 that he had been in discussions with Marvel Studios about reprising his role from the *Blade* trilogy although those films don't share continuity with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, Snipes himself approved Ali's casting.
* Mahershala Ali's role as Cottonmouth in the first season of *Luke Cage* gave him the inspiration and the idea to be cast as Blade in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so he contacted his agent on the day *Luke Cage* premiered to inquire about Marvel Studios' plans for the franchise. He eventually contacted Marvel Studios with a proposal for them to make a new *Blade* film, with him in the lead role.
* Jon Watts revealed in an interview that Blade had been briefly considered to potentially appear in *Spider-Man: Far From Home*.
* Mahershala Ali was uncredited for his appearance in *Eternals*.
