The Mizzet League

""If not us, then someone else.""

- A common Mizzet League proverb



At a Glance
The Mizzet League was a powerful city in the southern Western Peaks known for its opulence and criminal underworld. Run by the Bhattese, a family of Minotaur gangsters, the Mizzet League was a haven for people seeking to escape prosecution in their home countries or wishing to dabble in the city's renowned black market. Within the city, numerous factions vied for control, working both for and against the Bhattese and the city's former masters, The Cauldon Family.

History
Driven to The Western Peaks in search of wealth, many smugglers and mercenaries made the port of Mizzium their home. Over generations, Mizzium's distance from authorities and easily navigable coast allowed it to grow a sizable black market and reputation for criminal activity. As the port of Mizzium grew in opulence and corruption, it later came under control of The Cauldon Family who travelled from Court's Bay to seek their fortunes.

Religion
Firmly believing that "greed is good" most of the inhabitants of the Mizzet League worshipped Avandra. Counter to this, many would also worship the deity Abbathor out of fear of retribution.

Political Structure
While slavery was seen as illegal in other parts of the civilized world (or regulated, as in Umbraforge) The Mizzet League saw the owning of slaves as a symbol of status. However, rather than risk a slave rebellion or uprising, the crime lords of the Mizzet League opted to bound individuals through "indentured services" contracts. Periods of indenture typically lasted six to ten years, after which the servant would be released from their "contract".
