Proskur

Proskur was a city just outside of Cormyr and was notorious for its open thieves guilds.

History
Proskur was a large city with a bustling hive of transient filth and shadowy merchants. Few people traveled the streets with an honest intent. After the rise of Tikaru Matsu, adopted son of the Do'mirnan family, the city was never the same. He set up shop in Proskur and opened up an unknown number of thieves guilds, and turned them on each other.

While the thieves guilds were at war, Tikaru Matsu robbed the guild leaders, leaving each guild in shambles and ruin to rebuild in the decades that followed.

 * The Chain Mail Coin Purse : A tavern that boasted the safest rooms in all of Faerûn, with three locks per door, simulated windows and a complementary chain mail coin purse with a deposit of five gold on your room.


 * Aldarras Alchemical Admixture : Aldarra was a woman of many talents, though her ability to mix together a seemingly endless number of concoctions was by far and large her most impressive. Located near the south-east gate of the city her shop could be found by the ever-changing colors of smoke emanating from the chimney.


 * Buxly's Brawlers : Buxly Thogosh was a half-orc with a mean streak. He established the Arena in Proskur at the age of 14 and had a record of 74-0-1 (the best record in the arena). (Rumor had it the tie was against his own mother.) Spectators could wager on who will win fights; the higher the stakes the better the pay out.


 * Filgars Fine Filaments : Filgar was a gnome who spent the better part of his life learning the fine art of filament manipulation. Many who entered his shop first believed everything was levitating by some kind of magic, but a select few with sharp enough eyes could tell it was just fine filaments holding up the devices.
