There are rumors in the seedier districts of Am that the criminal organization Ouroboros operates heavily out of Am, making use of its central location on the western coastline, and low scrutiny for activities to support operation across Thea. A few of the more dangerous rumors suggest that Ouroboros works with the Merchant Guild to acquire some of the less savory, or more sentient goods requested by clients.

Even within the Merchant States of the Twin Rivers, where it is often said that anything can be bought or sold for the right price, Am has become infamous for being the place where all desires, no matter how vile or depraved, are available with deep enough pockets. To some of the more regular visitors, the sprawling red light district might be one of the tamer reasons to visit the city.
