A Cesspool of Crime

Everyone who lives in Thalor Alari knows that the crime rate in Santhelas is significantly higher than in the rest of the city. However, every traveller who isn't familiar with the city is oblivious of the danger.

This is an opportunity Eluin's Shadow know how to exploit.

In fact, the criminal organization run most of the businesses in Santhelas. All the city guards know this. However, all the businesses seem to be run in a completely lawful way. Without any way to track the unlawful activities to the local businesses it's impossible to use the law to stop the crimes.

This is rather infuriating for the local lawbringers, but what can they do?

Going to Santhelas? Watch your pockets, or you'll probably never see its content again.
