The ruler of Shosnar, Queen Aneh-tet, is a paranoid and treacherous vampire and her moods have altered the face of the city. A city of narrow streets and twisting alleys, with secret passages and hidden lairs of debauchery, Shosnar has grown more corrupt with each year since the cult of Set, the Lord of Serpents, rose to power in the city. Although all of the old gods of Thosia have temples in Shosnar, only that of Set is frequently visited, and anyone praying to another god too loudly is liable to be accused of treason. Bast and Osiris are especially hated by the dark regime that rules this city. Foreigners are only allowed in the Merchant Ward, and must leave the city by sunset or risk accusations of espionage unless on official business for the city. Those without proper papers from the temple of Set may be arrested for no cause. To help facilitate trade a village on a small island off the cost has been built for merchants from other cities to live in connected to the city by a narrow bridge. Subterfuge, manipulation, and treachery are the meat and wine of the people of Shosnar...Shosnar Swamp DwellerYou are at home in the bogs around the city of Shosnar and skilled at hunting in this environment.Prerequisites: 1st-level only, must be from Shosnar.Benefits: Hide, move silently, spot, and wilderness lore are always class skills for you.
