Oscura
-
Forgive me if these are already answered somewhere, but I had a few questions about Oscura. What is the idea behind this place? Is it a starting city for evil characters? How does one join? Or does it all happen in-game?
Also, who are the DMs/Player Leads for this area?
Thanks!

I'll refer you to the post this question inspired….Here!

It's not a selectable starting city in the new character area. Maybe if you make special arrangements, but for the most part people that have moved there moved due to IC reasons that arose in game, as far as I know. At least I did. As far as joining, you need a current citizen of Oscura to bring you in.
As far as the concept goes, Oscura is a very unhappy place. As you'd pretty much learn from reading the law post, the only people that have rights there to speak of are the citizens. In theory, if you were a non-citizen, and you walked the streets without the protection of a citizen, any Tom, Dick, or Harry could pretty much beat you down and sell you into slavery. (Though that really needs to happen more, to make people feel that Oscura is actually a sketchy place, and not another place to enguage in carefree shopping.) It's something of a haven for several shady religions, as well as a general refuge for rejects of surface society.
Kuker is the Oscura head honcho, so he'd be the one you talk to for all things Oscura.
