Daask

Daask is a criminal organization that has recently begun to spread across Breland and Aundair. Using violence and intimidation to carve out a niche in the underworld, the group is composed almost exclusively of monsters from Droaam. Rumors say that Sora Katra is the mastermind behind this group. In common, the name would translate to "The Monster's Eye."
First appearing in Sharn in 988YK, they quickly spread to Wroat, Passage, Starilaskur, Ghalt, Lathleer and Fairhaven in the five years that followed, with Fairhaven being their most recent endeavor. In each city they operate only in the most lawless areas, and they are primarily engaged in protection rackets, loan sharking, and drugs. Their bases are renovated Dhakaani Empire subterranean strongholds, to which outsiders are almost never permitted access. Instead, each Daask cell has one location above ground where one of their spokespersons can be found. In Sharn, this is Shamukaar in Khyber's Gate, a tavern and butcher shop for refugees from Droaam.

Key People

Previously, a half-ogre named Garra was the main lieutenant of Daask's Sharn operations. When the Wednesday Knight Irregulars foiled a plot to uncover relics from Sharn's Undercity, she was apprehended by the Sharn Watch and by Korrin Lightfoot, a member of the Boromar Clan. Her fate is unknown.
In retaliation, a group of Daask assassins were hired to follow members of the Wednesday Knight Irregulars to the border settlement of Yann's Hold, near the Mourning. They posed as adventurers in the large party hired by Aimee Dixit and Frederi Yann and later tried to kill Vinny Walker. Thanks to his allies, Alidor d'Trémoïlle and Katerina Denolova, Vinny survived the attempt on his life.
