Linhythe has long been the Empire’s gateway to trade with the west. The city is vast and densely-packed, seething with life at all hours. Boasting endless markets stocked with nearly every good imaginable, Linhythe is a modern, urban hub. However, the wealth pouring into the city has an uncanny tendency to find itself in only a few pockets, letting conspicuous poverty blight the city.

Crime festers in Linhythe, only stemmed when the wrong class of person begins to fall victim. There are a handful of strong criminal organizations regulating the city’s underworld, which serve to keep it from roiling over into chaos. Tenuous agreements are often struck between these gangs, the city’s numerous guilds, and the guardsmen, creating a complicated, shifting web of alliances. Wealth matters above all in Linhythe; here, money trumps pedigree – an enticing lure that draws in ranks of people from the countryside, all seeking a new life.
