For these desperate individuals, the criminal organization becomes a means of survival.

Base of Operation

Carta main base of operation is in Vul Darum, in the lower part known as Dust Town. It is Carta's most important quarter.

History

In the last millennium, Carta and its activities have grown to pose a significant threat, even to Vul Darum itself. The bold actions of the Dwarves of Carta during the Draco-Giant War, where they fearlessly roamed the streets of Vul Darum, engaging in extortion and intimidation of merchants in the Commons, marked a turning point. Specializing in smuggling various illicit goods, including ores, surface goods, Vul Darum exports, weapons, people, and slaves, Carta established a formidable presence in Val Darum. They extended their reach to influence the affairs of prostitutes, and beggars while also profiting from fixed gambling games and contract killings.
Despite their flourishing illegal enterprise, Carta's members remain desperate and prone to violence. The lack of a strong leader to temper their actions has resulted in a disregard for dwarven honor, leading them to break their promises, betray allies, and abandon deals without hesitation.
In the aftermath of the Draco-Giant War, Carta's influence has extended into other mountain cities. While they may not operate as overtly as in Vul Darum, their power remains one of the most prominent among criminal organizations in these cities.
