Maetrage

Maetrage is known by all in Maransa as the Jewel in the Sand. All outside Maransa know it as the Cursed City. It is the largest city in Maransa and some say in all of the Fold. The city is filled with vile creatures, gamblers, prostitutes, murderers, and it is rumored that beneath the city lies a direct channel to the Underdark. Maetrage is also home to a group known as The Rising Fall.

Maetrage indeed has a route to the Underdark. A small group of Drow patrol the entrance in secret. They alert those in their homeland of any unwelcome visitors. Maetrage is also home to a group known as The Rising Fall. They seek to gain enough power to overtake Maransa and then all of the Fold. They have an intricate network of spies and adventurers alike.

The Buka ’Ukan
This marketplace is the largest slave trade in all the Fold. Maransa is the only land where slavery is still socially accepted.

The Deepening Stalls
This section of the city is a giant mine. Deep within, there are veins of precious Astia. The appearance is slightly run-down since mostly workers live here. As the mining projects progress further underground, the original structures become abandoned and broken. If one were to travel to the very deepest caverns, they would notice the structures get progressively nicer as they travel deeper. The current operator is Larg Axeforged. Very few slaves are used here as Larg believes them to be less skilled than the miners.
