Vermis-on-Silt

Vermis-on-Silt is a maze of wooden boardwalks and damp stone tunnels. Every corner hosts a dice game, and the air vibrates with the buzzing of racing beetles. While the surface appears to be a legitimate trading hub, the true power lies in the tunnels beneath the riverbed. Here, the Ratfolk Syndicate pulls the strings of every merchant and noble who enters, ensuring the house always wins and the secrets stay buried in the mud.
