Ostrom is a large, cursed city located on the eastern coast of Pteris in the Scurflink domain.
About
Though the city has a (corrupt) government, many locals are fully aware of the power and control that organized crime has taken. The city guards of Ostrom go by the title of "The Ostrom Watch"
The Curse
Some point between the years 100 PR and 300 PR, the city was subjected to a curse which left its skies riddled with perpetual darkness, casting a permanent night on the city.
Major Organized Crime Powers
Major players in the Ostrom environment typically take on psuedonyms or titles, and a few are listed here:
- The Bookkeeper, known mostly for dealing out information and running a secret fighting and gambling ring under the warehouse district.
- The Ferret, his "Linebacker" (bodyguard)
- The Hyena, a laughing fool who deals heavily in guns, sex, drugs, and insanity.
- Sir Redar, an undead knight with a domineering hand and tendency to intimidate into getting what he wants.
- Erznik and the Battlemasters
- The KnightBat, a costumed vigilante.
- The Scarecrow, a literal scarecrow.
Places of Interest

- Rosexa's Inn
- Cornlow Eelmonger's (a "vintage" food shop)
- Invisible Summit (an organization of investigators determined to find out where the city's money is disappearing to)
Behind the Screen
