Sayyatz

Sayyatz is built in the side of a giant mountain. And the mountains slopes down into farmlands. There is a huge arena off to one side that is Goblin architecture - rotten wood, hided together, lots of scafolding everywhere on the outside of it as they rebuild often. Lots of ramshackled housing built with wood or stone, really poorly constructed sinking into the mud. It's a medieval town that exists for creatures small or creatures large (bugbears, orcs, or goblins). The streets are usually patrolled by Giants and Trolls.

Sayyatz is a hive of villainy and scum. It's known for it's trading and is very merchant heavy. It's run by a council of merchants (Corcus, Horus, Rumble are some key players) secretly, while (newly) publicly being ran by Brad, Just Brad. The Forge Cleric from Sanzir, formerly of Praetorium. After seeing the poor state of the infrastructure (or lack there of), Brad decided to stay and help build the city. He believes he can influence from within, positively.

During a plot to uncover the truth regarding an assassination in Sayyatz which looked poorly to the Grand Company - General Krusk discovered a foul plan among the Merchants to gain power in Sayyatz with the help of a doppleganger and using the Grand Company as scapegoats. The trio of Merchants reluctantly informed the group that they overthrew Narx Nexus with the help of this doppleganger with the intention of allowing the doppleganger in his place to fool others. The rely on this public face to keep others from trying to seize control of Sayyatz and to allow the merchants to continue to do business as desired.

"As long as there's a warlord in charge, nobody thinks to attack this place. No trolls rise up and take over, no giants, no orcs....."

The trio of Merchants, - after some convincing - have agreed to let the doppleganger come back to Praetorium for justice. They will trade their puppet to have Brad lead in his absence to satisfy their political needs. With them in power and fat pockets, they are happy and feel great about resuming trading and not going to war with the Praetorium.
