The Boromar Clan


The Boromar Clan is undoubtedly the most powerful criminal organization in Sharn. They are a family of halflings, with a lot influence and allies all over the city. The clan controls the city's smuggling trade and owns most of gambling halls in the city. Most of the fences and thieves either work directly for the Boromars or pay tribute in exchange for independence.

The clan controls a vast network of extortion, blackmail, and graft that extends from the slums of Lower Dura to the heights of Skyway, with its headquarters in the halfling district of Little Plains (in Middle Menthis).

Their influence reaches far beyond the criminal underworld. The early Boromar patriarchs invested wisely over the centuries, so that today the Boromars are one of the wealthiest families in Sharn. The Boromar Clan owns many of the warehouses in Precarious and Cogsedge. They own taverns and inns throughout the city and have a considerable interest in the shipping trade.

A Boromar heir sits on the city council of Sharn, and the current patriarch is a member of the Gold Concord of the Aurum.

Devlin's notes:

Despite their money and prestige, they are goons and criminals. From what I know, they have a direct or indirect control over most of the city's institutions. I try my best to avoid dealing with them.
