Fahdarm

Fahdarm was once amongst the great cities of Kathlam The City of Fleshcraft it was called, here unrestricted and ruthless mage guilds mastered that most old and as some would say wicked art.
From the chaos and lawlessness that was the aftermath of the cities sacking, did three powers emerge, together they formed the Tri-Archs to consolidate their powers, together did they take down the lesser powers of Fahdarm and establish themself as a triumvirate.

Defences

The city has little official defences, it's walls still being rebuild, but what still remains is the city are those who are strong enough to survive in perhabs Kathlam cruellest and most unforgiving environment, they are thugs, murderes and fighters if not of more monsterous origen.

Industry & Trade

The city now mainly sells it's services as mercenary and shock troops and Chimera soldiers as they have always done.

Infrastructure

Though of the Fahdarm as ruined, much of it is being rebuild, such as it's great aqueduct, the old pits and the sewers, though it may still take time before they are truely as they once were.

Guilds and Factions

The three 'houses' which rule Fahdarm:

Wrathscale

The Wrathscales were a breed of draconic Chimera long enslaved and made to fight in the pits, now after the city was in ruin those that remained found that their unnatural strength and and resilience gave them great 'bargaining' power, now they serve as the Tri-Archs elite enforcers and guards.

House Ankhhaf

House Ankhhaf is the only house that remains which can trace it's origen to before the sacking, they offered the Tri-Archs their mages and knowledge in the fleshcraft, and now also hold a near total monopoly on it's practices with the exception of the Wrathscales.

House Kalea

'House' Kalea was a amongst prominent slave traders before the sacking, now they use that wealth to rebuild the city and of course to establish their influence, merchants and craftment alike own them a ticking debt for their help.

Architecture

Much of the once splendid city of stone is a ruin, while some places are being rebuild, many more live in squalor, ruined structures are repaired with tattered cloths and wood to create a chaotic and nightmarish architectural slum.

Geography

Fahdarm is build on carved along the side of Mount Varush, with the oldest parts of the city being carved into the site of the mountain, a great aqueduct leads water from it's reservoirs to the rest of the city.
