Gangs of SarisungIn the forty years since the end of the Brothers War, Sarisung has had nearly no central power or government. Instead, it has been run by an anarchy of warlords and gang leaders, who have each attempted to assert control over the former Heart of Haless with their own private armies. With no nearby power strong enough to challenge them, the gangs have waged war on each other for half a century and show no signs of stopping as they leverage their abilities to dominate each other once and for all.

The Criminal ClanThe Swift Paw Clan was once a proud and noble Harimari family, one of the pillars of Sarisung, noble warriors and leaders of the city. In the aftermath of Sarisung’s descent into anarchy, the Swift Paw refused to leave like many nobles and resisted the encroachment of gangs by carving out protected territories for themselves, savagely putting down dissent to their mastery of the city’s Kethur district. Specializing in direct conflict and violence, the Swift Paw are considered thugs and brutes by their enemies, but believe themselves to be the only legitimate representatives of the upper caste nobility left in the city, and will assert their prerogative to govern by force if necessary.

Gang EnforcersThe Swift Paw have found a place in the city primarily as enforcers and ruffians, working in collaboration with other gangs or wealthy criminals as hired muscle. Their fearsome reputation and apparent skill in combat are enough to intimidate many into compliance and payment, and they are more than willing to make an example of those who don’t pay their dues or follow the rules they set out.

Regional TiesThough they are based in Sarisung’s districts, the gangs of the city have influence that extends into the underworld of many countries and metropolises throughout Haless. From common ruffians to shady nobles and prominent government officials, many are in the pocket of the gangs and help facilitate their interests across the continent.

Outcastes and ScumWhile the gangs of Sarisung are far from bastions of justice and goodness, they do have certain aspects which make them attractive for the downtrodden. Functionally meritocratic, any can rise within the gangs, though they do tend to favor villainous knaves and backstabbing criminals. As such, there is never a shortage of ambitious individuals around the gang leadership, willing to work to prove their skill.
+1 Possible Advisors
Defenders of FreedomWhile the gangs are far from promoters of individual liberties and rights among the people they govern and extort, they are fiercely independent when it comes to the idea of foreign rule. If anyone is going to rule Sarisung, it will be one of them, not some Bom princeling or upjumped Prahbij. Though their struggles against each other are fierce, all will fight to defend the city walls when called to hold off an invader. After all, Sarisung is their home, too.
+20% Garrison Size
Unite the CityThe aim of the gangs of Sarisung has long been the same - to unite the City. Though its riches are well diminished, its potential is grand were it to be reforged from its fractured pieces, and all are well aware of this. Though their methods differ, the Heart of Haless is a jewel that is desired by all, and whoever finally succeeds in uniting the city will bask in the glory of a restored Sarisung!
