Naucriparos

Every country has its seedy underbellies, and Naucriparos is as seedy as they come. The saying goes that every son and daughter who has ever cheated, stolen or slit a throat in Numa has set foot at least once in Naucriparos, the sellsword city.

History

First built as a stop-off port for Numanari soldiers shipping from one part of the kingdom to another during the war, Naucriparos was a hastily constructed military port city that barely survived the constant battles for freedom. When peace was established, the men and women who served to drive back Numa’s conquerors departed Naucriparos to return home, leaving behind a perfectly good port city to a skeleton group of locals. A provisional council took up leadership and for a time, everything was quiet. Then, the Red Hand League arrived.
Professional soldiers and mercenaries, the Red Hand League came into being to give Numanari veterans a way to sell their well-earned fighting skills to the highest bidder. Led by five former decorated Numanari war heroes, the Red Hands made it a port of call for anyone looking for mercenaries, or for any mercenaries needing a place to lay their hat. The result is a town where anyone can find the hired killers and thieves they seek for the right price. The streets may be dangerous, but the code of the Red Hands is upheld in every establishment: always keep a contract, never turn your back on a fellow Hand in need, and seek no quarrel but always finish one.
