 ==== Diiri’s Boys Gang ====
-One of the main criminal gangs lurking in Conch's Slums district, Diiri's Boys is a collection of neirdowells under the banner of a crazed [[Derro]], a man by the name of [[Graggle Buppido]]. They do not function like others would- the group is practically ritualistic in their dealings. Whether from the various killings to the simple sale of a [[Soulgem]], each step taken must follow exact specifications, sometimes bordering on the inane. Yet under the guidance of Graggle, the group has flourished into a full-blown gang. Their grip fiercely tight upon their recipe to make [[Soulgem|Soulgems]], their earnings have solidified them as a force to be reckoned with. Those that earn their place within this prestigious group are the most cruel, foul, and vile cutthroats. They are completely loyal to Graggle and their cause and have cornered the markets on drugs and other illegal goods.

-Diiri’s Boys has a fully structured hierarchy. Underneath Graggle Buppido are his Three Eternals- the true leaders of the gang. They keep it functioning and bring in all the various profits, running plentiful amounts of business with those in the market for under the table goods. Each Eternal keeps their own Scar, their errand boys, handpicked from the basic followers named the Rabble.

−	Wandering the streets night and day, the City Watch of Conch act a deterrent for most low-threat crimes such a pickpockets and drunkards. Part of the experience of the Watch has been their education in the politics of the city, so much so that they have, as an institute, learnt what crimes to investigate and which to avoid; partly for their own self-preservation alongside the odd coin falling into their palm. Certain altruistic individuals have arisen through the ranks, hoping to impress a change however many have found themselves crest-fallen, or dead-fallen, as a result.

		+	The origins of Nebular began in Hadrian over a century ago as a joint project between a sorcerer Sherina Tsirak Master Arcanist Cashand Joriin, both from Hadrian. Unfortunately their ambition of a school where sorcerers and wizards could study together roughly as equals was an idea well ahead of the times, and the Arcanist Guild and other Netherese institutions refused to support it. Even beginning construction in Conch rather than Hadrian could not appease the Guild so the two abandoned the project. But the later loss of the Valstiir Enclave abruptly changed the cultural status quo.
		+
		+	The disaster that befell Valstiir reduced the prestige of the wizardly class and the populace of Conch became suspicious of unfettered magical experimentation and research. Some of this thinking also filtered into the spellcasting community and some senior magicians decided to complete the construction of the university. Wizards and sorcerers alike pooled their resources and influence for the project. They were granted a charter from the city of Conch to educate citizens with magical potential in a responsible manner, research subjects of a magical nature safely and openly, and provide expertise on arcane matters when hired or requested. A key part of the University mission statement was to never seek power for its own sake and to apply their collective knowledge in constructive rather than destructive ways. Bards have recently started being accepted as students.

 The Market District is both a suburb of Conch in its own right as well as the most neutral place for all citizens to meet and trade.  With so much money exchanging hands control over rights of trade and taxation are highly coveted and in constant flux.  The current preeminent power is the West Netheril Trading Company.  All are welcome to trade in the Market District providing they pay all due trade fees and do not disrupt business.  A blind eye may be turned to a few independent stall owners squabbling over choice market space, but only the most desperate or foolish traders dare to cross West Netheril Trading Company and its members.  The permanent residents of the Market District are largely merchants and other professionals, along with their staff and families.  Some are barely above paupers and a few wealthy beyond a noble’s dreams, with the majority falling between the extremes.

 Uptown is the area of Conch that the most prosperous and educated citizens tend to congregate in.  It is populated by a diverse mixture of students, landowners, petty nobility, performers and supporting occupations.  The theatre is the largest artistic structure in Conch, but it is Nebular, the University of the Arcane Arts which is the dominant power in this district.  Fine dining and music are popular pastimes in Uptown.  The population is mostly human and elvish, with social-class playing a high role in how an individual is judged.
