| - | Torch is ruled by a number of [[Gangs of Torch|gangs]], none of which care for anything but their own power and wealth. Bloody street battles for supremacy punctuate periods of tense peace, and gangs rise and fall with such regularity that no permanent, stable government is possible. While anybody with a few friends in Torch usually gives themselves a name and symbol and tries to carve a piece of the town for themselves, there are a handful of large gangs that control the majority of the territory at any one given time. When the party first visited Torch, the three largest dominant gangs were [[the Gray Orb]], [[Tiamat's Chosen]], and Melif's Brand. But everybody in Torch knows it's only a matter of time before something happens to shift the balance of power again, and even the mightiest gang can be toppled. After all, it's happened before. | + | Torch is ruled by a number of [[Gangs of Torch|gangs]], none of which care for anything but their own power and wealth.

| + | The Party has a mutually beneficial relationship one of the gangs, [[the Brotherhood Janko]], run by [[Giovanni]], which was the first gang they had contact with after arriving in Torch. They have fought to support them against The Gray Orb (who had been taken over by the [[Black Lotus]]), [[Tiamat's Chosen]], and other gangs.

| - | Finally, there's the portal to Gehenna. Suspended in the air just below the lip of the central volcano, it resembled a blood red orb that gleams like an ill-omened moon over the town. Being several hundred feet in the air, flight is the only reliable means of reaching it, but some foolhardy travelers try climbing the slopes above it and jumping down into it. Those with bad aim break their necks on the cobblestones below, much to the amusement of the locals. People in Torch claim the landing on the Gehenna side of the portal is safer, but some of them reportedly laughed to themselves when they said it. | + | Finally, there's the portal to [[Gehenna]].
