On the NIUX continent exists a luxurious city. The sea town of Shakrem, controlled by the Regner empire. The town is wonderful, full of people and merchants, expert craftmen of every kind. With 10s if not hundreds of boats trading everyday. A place filled with goods from all over the continent, nutmeg from the Salem kingdom to the fur's of the fengar rulled lands. The gems and sulfer of Revar to the newly forged arquebus(rifle) of the Nox empire. In this bussy merchant town many cultures mix together and several people live here, many not even merchants them selves just people loving the ocean view, and some of these people are looking to gain some extra money, in a, less then legal way. Of them, another chance arises, in the various different theives guilds. Althought two rain above them all. The Stary Sea guild, this group holds heavy sway in the merchant distract. With their vast web of contacts they cause trouble for those that dare oppose them. Making money throught selling stolen products and extortion. Then, there's The Theives of Shakrem. This guild works in by supporting theives deeper in town, praying on markets and using politcal connections to keep their theives out of jail. Tensions run deep between these two different groups, as the Stary Sea has sway of the waters and Merchants, where Theives of Shakrem have politcal connects and shop raids. You're part of the Theives of Shakrem, let's make some gold.
WELCOME ADVENTURES TO THE THEIVES OF SHAKREM. This is a homebrew campaign set on the continent of Niux. Will their's a lot to this world this campaign will be sticking mostly to the city of Shakrem. I'm looking for 2-4 adventures who are intrested.
A few notes.
Variant human is allowed, but no feet stacking with it, like using it to get poll arm master and sentient right away.
Most races are allowed except for Centaur, Aarakocra, Gith, Kalashtar, Simic Hybrid, Viashino, and Yuan ti. Some races may not be as liked as others (will include with world details)
No race is inheritenly evil, just because someone is a goblin or orc doesn't instantly just make them evil.
All classes and allowed and you can run homebrew by me if their's something you really want to try
About the world
On the contient of Niux 7 major nations exist
The Regner Empire-the capital is small island but they control much of the western coast with a powerful navy, they mostly exist of Elves and humans, but many other races live here.
The Nox Empire-a powerful military empire that controls much of the inner continent, their territory marked by the mountins, they control vast iron mines and farms, producing tons of food and iron. While not inheritent cruel to it's people letting them live freely and safely they will put down rebellions with extrem force. They have also made the first arquebus(rifle). The population here is many proud Dwarves, gnomes, haflings and orcs.
Fengar lands-a cold and barbaric land where people fight with the wild to survive, a few cities stand strong, built on the trades of fur to the Regner empire. This population many consists of Goliath, Hobgoblins, Burbear, and even Minotaurs aren't to uncommon here.
The Revar kingdom-A peaceful kingdom, but a powerful one, beleaving in the power of nature and harvesting it's most precious materials, like wood, coal, sulfer and gems. With a few rumors even saying their leader is a purple dragon. The main population here consists of Tieflins and Dragonborn.
Suni-a small religious people, controlling only two desert cities they would have been wiped out if not for their alliance with the Revar, this small kingdoms only advantage is that they have gold mines, many of the continents gold comes from here but none would dare try and take it for fear of angering the Revar and the Revar's ally, the Nox. The Suni consist mostly of orange Tabaxi.
The Salem-A desert kingdom on the coast, this kingdom longs for the Suni's gold mines to reach the power of the other nations but will likely never get it without starting a war. But, they do have a rare and exotic spice, NUTMEG. The Salem's population consists of yellow Tabaxi and Loxodon's
Levin-not an empire, or a kingdom, not even completely unified, but a coaliton of tribes refusing to surrender, even while being surrounded by three sides, being outnumbered and with outdated equitment, they never gave up and forced the other nation to sue for peace. Many of the unmentioned races live here in tribes, like the goblins, and kobolds.
So, if you're instrested sign up with the basic character info, like name, race, class, ability score, and a background, you will start at level 3

Color me intrigued, I've got an urchin background warlock that grew up as a simple pickpocket before finding a broken blade that serves as a conduit for his hexblade patron.
Are you doing rolled stats or standard arry/point buy?
Doon is a human rogue who grew up on the streets of Shakrem. Always staying one step ahead of the law, he had also not been noticed by The Thieves of Shakrem until now. Upon reaching early adulthood his 'appetites' have also matured, and his recent ventures into gambling and womanizing have brought him to the attention of The Thieves of Shakrem. They see the hidden potential in this new upstart and want to add him to their ranks.
Marzen is a human wizard who used to be on the battlefield and recently stopped to be a soldier. After deciding to leave her job as a soldier, she walked out and stayed in her own house that now had abandoned and destroyed during her absences. Now she is wandering around the streets of the Regner Empire.

I'm definitely interested. Ahriman Jedhor is an Aasimar warlock with the urchin background that i played in another PBP that dried up. He grew up a pickpocket in a poor neighborhood in Shakrem before finding a broken sword blade that lead to his eldrich powers.
One night he broke into a curio shop, sure he would find some trinket or bauble of value. He was drawn to a small, locked chest in a back room. Inside was the broken shard of a blade, its hilt wrapped in worn leather. He felt compelled to reach for it, to wrap his hand around the grip. When he did he heard a voice, soft and steady, offering him the power to pull himself out from the muck he grew up in. He took the blade, about the size of a dagger, and never looked back. His powers made him very successful and the Theives of Shakrem took notice.
Ahriman goes by Ari to his friends, is a generally upbeat and easy going guy. He has an affinity to expensive whiskey, as that was something that he never had the means to get himself, though he isn't a drunk by any stretch. He is fiercely loyal to his friends, something he developed as a youth working with other urchins in the city.
Gnash is the muscle sent to break the legs and tear off the arms of those who don't pay their debts to the crime lord. Hailing from Fengar lands, he was brought to the city as a child. He was raised to fight and is employed by the crime lord to keep people in line.
Just pick the starting equipment from your class and add an extra 50 gold
Alright with that let’s begin. A new day dawns at your small base. As the sun begins to come up you slowly start to wake up. Your base has around 10-15 members as the bases are separated, so in event someone is captured they can’t turn everyone in, as you all wake up what are you doing.

Doon wakes up and stretches, curling his right arm as if flexing his muscles and extending his left straight out, and cracking his neck by first tilting his head to the left and then to the right. He will begin to look around for something to eat, "What's for breakfast?" he asks aloud to no one in particular.
If there is something to eat at the base he does so, if not he will head out to find somewhere to eat.
As you head into the main dinning hall you see 3 people already awake. Glenn Caskbone, a former assassin now leading a small portion of theives, despite having a enough money to retire. The other two are Pruola, a female goblin pick pocket and Davis, a half elf archer who works on look out.
Glenn Caskbone turns and simply replies "not much, a weak beaf stew. If you want something else feel free to head into town but don't go to far, I need you back in about an hour"
Marzen opens her eyes by a cold-air of the dawn. Then, she slowly sits up for a moment to wake herself up completely before she stands upon the ground. Rubbing her eyes with her two hands, she moves her steps into the main dining hall. "... Well, good morning, everyone." Marzena speaks quietly before she takes a sit. "What's the news today?"

Gnash woke, scratched, and found himself at the front of the chow line. Gnash always found himself at the front of the chow line, even when he slept in and arrived late. Perhaps it was the fact he was over 7 feet tall and 325 lbs and was known to rip arms off people.
He didn't go out much and found himself spending the day doing what he's usually did, playing dice or cards.
Gnash didn't steal for a living, he was the enforcer . He kept everyone the boss wanted in line, in line.
Glenn turns towards Marzen and gives a tired reply, his eyes showing a lack of sleep “not much, although their is one thing I’d like to share but I’d like for us to all be here for it”

Ahriman wakes up and swings his legs over the side of the bed. His dusky golden skin mirrors the dawn light creeping into the room. He runs his hands through his blonde hair and casts Prestidigitation to clean the sleep scum off his face.
"Good morning everyone." he says before putting his clothes on.
Doon waits in line, not wanting to upset Gnash, after all he wanted breakfast not a fight he would probably lose along with an arm. After collecting some beef stew and a mug of goat's milk he found his way to sit beside Marzena. He especially wanted to make friends with her for two reasons, one; she was known to be pretty good with magic and who couldn't use a friend who was handy with a spell now and then, and two; she was very easy on the eyes.
"Good morning, Marzena. Seems like Glenn has something brewing in about an hour."
