Tarkesh: City on the Threshold of Doom

These are some old, (very) rough notes on a campaign setting. Little detail has been provided on the world or setting details.

• Slowly being tken over by "Dark/Evil Forces" - The hint of supernatural involvement is defineately there.
• Recently control of the city has been assumed by Felesh Doomstalker
• • He was once a Warrior-Preist of the Order of ???\
  • Was Removed (ejected?) from order for unknown reasons
  • Became a mercanary ("Blank Shield") in the North
  • Rose to note for his "heroic" actions there
  • Was inducted into the Flame-Wind Order for this
  • Rumors say that he was also inducted into a Darkling order
  • Wandered through the Southern and Coastal Courts for several years, seeminly without a goal
  • When the Gulf Wars broke out, he used his reputation to build popular suuport, and then seized control of the city
• Currently, due to the wars, the city lacks any major industry and is slipping into a depression.
• There are several Factions that are trying to depose Felesh and take control
• There are at least two "theives guilds" in the city. One of them is definately pawns of the Dark Forces.
• There is a large goblin(/ork/barbarian) migration into the area of the city.
• The Government of the city is by three councils (who answer to Felesh): One of the Nobles (Landowners?), One of the Guilds, and One of the Commoners.
• The Preisthoods and the Mages have their own, separate, advisory councils (Felesh removed them from the ruling councils).
• The Guards and Watchs (~6 groups) are split on their reaction to the major issues.
