This contains information for use by Yanssr during the campaign.
Facts[edit]
Confirmed facts Yanssr knows about Ptolus.
House Abanar[edit]
A mercantile family, House Abanar commands great wealth. Abanar is the largest house as well as the wealthiest—although probably not the most powerful or influential. Abanar keeps many adventurers, mercenaries, and bounty hunters busy by offering a sizable reward (500 to 1,000 gp, or sometimes as high as 5,000 gp) for the head of anyone who steals from them or one of their businesses. Thus, with holdings as vast as theirs, Abanar always has one or two recent outstanding bounty offers—and far more old ones (some thieves are just never caught).
Available Bounties[edit]
Shilukar: You've seen the following "Wanted" poster. Apparently, Shilukar has broken into a number of manor homes in the Nobles’ Quarter and stolen valuables of all types. Many of these homes are owned by members of House Abanar. It is not clear how House Abanar got the dark elf's name (such as through divination spells) without also getting his location.
The Silent Slayer: There has been a rash of murders in the Guildsman District. The City Watch brought in a diviner, but according to her spells, the murderer is a sorcerer named Orden Falcron, a man long dead. Believing the murderer to be an undead creature, the City Watch has called on the Keepers of the Veil, who have had no luck tracking it down. There is a 1,000 gp bounty on the head of the killer, whom the broadsheets have dubbed the Silent Slayer.
Brotherhood of Redemption: This order of monks specialize in rehabilitating evil creatures who get captured in Ptolus. They pay a small bounty for evil creatures who are intelligent enough to reason (only if brought in alive).
Unknown Aarakocra: The Balacazar family have placed a bounty of 5,000 gp on the head of an aarakocra that has been occasionally in the docks area, accompanied by four trained eagles.
Melted Man: A wealthy businessman was attacked three nights ago in Midtown by a "twisted man-thing with melted flesh". The businessman has put a bounty of 500 gp on the creature's head.
Sobac Redwand: House Abanar has put a 15,000 gp bounty on the head of this thief, the most famous (and hardest to catch) thief in all of Ptolus. Most bounty hunters and adventurers who know of Sobac laugh at the ridiculousness of the low reward.
Ratmen: The Church of Lothian has recently issued a proclamation offering a bounty of 3 gp for the tail of any ratman or dire rat brought in.
Rumors[edit]
Unconfirmed rumors Yanssr has heard about Ptolus.
Kevris Killraven[edit]
Kevris Killraven arrived in the city only recently, but in that short time this mysterious woman has created the second most powerful criminal organization in Ptolus, the Killraven Crime League. It’s fairly well accepted that Kevris Killraven is not a member of one of the major races. But as to what she really is, opinions vary widely. Folks presume her to be perhaps a medusa, a particularly intelligent harpy, or even a female giant.
