Gnolls
Worker households that regulate hunting through accountable shares and ecological balance rather than plunder.
Place in Avarra
Blind Hearth is a small but open settlement in Hollow Ring and Foundry Line, established around the Avarra underground. It is not a separate kingdom viewed from outside; it is a village or quarter node tied to neighbouring roads, markets, and common law.
City life and diaspora
In Karanlık Liman, Gnolls households participate in tracking, hauling, and common kitchens without being confined to a single “foreign quarter.” Someone arriving from the village can find kin, an apprenticeship, a guest bed, or a partner; city-born people maintain regular ties to Blind Hearth.
Living together
Gnolls are not reduced to one temperament, profession, or politics. Local agreements, access needs, and safety practices are made explicit so difference remains part of ordinary life. Their visible expertise is tracking, hauling, and common kitchens, but it is never anyone’s compulsory destiny.
Adventure ties
- The partnership between Blind Hearth and Karanlık Liman can be tested by a cut road or a lost record.
- A family may need mediation between local custom and city law.
- A character may belong to this record through a guild, neighbourhood, or road oath as well as ancestry.
