Broken Reach
Today we go back to the Abyss for a piece on one of the few (relatively) safe outposts in the plane, the city of Broken Reach.
For the last 200 years, Broken Reach has been one of the closest things the Abyss has to a sanctuary for outsiders, a place where travelers to the plane can live and operate from without worry of violence, impressment, or enslavement.
Two centuries ago, the city then known as Bladed Reach, after standing firm for over 800 years as the gate-town to the Abyss, suffered a city-wide massacre, the causes of which are still unknown. Whatever set it off — and most assume tanar'ri instigation in one way or another — within a single day, nearly the entire population of 8,000 people was wiped out. Perhaps a few dozen survived. The event was so strong, Bladed Reach slid almost overnight, leaving the city of Plague-Mort in its wake.
