To the enterprising agents of House Tharashk, the Demon Wastes represent an untouched trove of treasures that are well worth the terrible wrath of this land. After several failed attempts at establishing a colony here, the dragon marked house succeeded with Blood Crescent, a tiny outpost on the edge of Crescent Bay. Tharashk uses the outpost as a base from which it mounts expeditions for precious deposits of Khyber dragonshards. Despite losing expeditions on a regular basis and ongoing attacks by the Carrion Tribes, the house funnels incredible sums into maintaining Blood Crescent, believing that the long-term benefit of an outpost in the Wastes outweighs the cost.
Blood Crescent is home to a mix of humans and orcs, all Tharashk operatives. However, the outpost welcomes adventurers, and PCs could make the place a base of operations. In addition to hiring adventurers as escorts for house scouts and prospectors, Tharashk knows that its presence in the outpost is an effective hedge against Carrion Tribe attacks.
House Tharashk established this tiny port at the end of the Last War. The house hopes to gain access to the dragonshard deposits buried in the Wastes. To date, it has survived the Carrion Tribes and the malefic horrors of the Wastes, but few believe it will last.
