Session Zero: Mörk Borg

The world is a harsh and unforgiving place, scarred by centuries of darkness and despair. The sun has long since been blotted out by an ever-present veil of ash and smoke, and the air is thick with the stench of decay and corruption. The few remaining pockets of civilization are held together by fear and desperation, their citizens huddled in crumbling cities and towns, eking out a miserable existence under the constant threat of raiders, monsters, and the ever-present darkness.

Harmug is an overweight and disagreeable man who is driven by greed. He is not well-liked by those around him due to his selfish and unpleasant demeanor. Harmug is fiercely independent and will do whatever it takes to get what he wants, preferring underhanded tactics or exploiting those around him.

Harmug is a scavenger, always on the lookout for a good deal or a chance to make a profit. He is skilled at haggling and negotiating, and is not above using his size and strength to bully or intimidate others into getting what he wants. However, Harmug's greed often leads him into dangerous situations.

Karg is a small, vicious dog that belongs to Harmug. He is a scrappy, rodent-like mutt with matted fur and a perpetual snarl, and he is fiercely loyal to his master. Karg is protective of Harmug, and he will attack anyone or anything that he perceives as a threat to his master. He is quick to snap and bite, and his sharp teeth and powerful jaws can do serious damage to anyone who gets too close.

Despite his small size, Karg is a formidable opponent, and he is not afraid to take on much larger foes if it means protecting Harmug. He is a constant companion to Harmug, always at his side and ready to defend him at a moment's notice.

Harmug and Karg's home on the outskirts of the city is a shabby lean-to made of garbage and scraps. It is a small, cramped space that barely provides enough shelter for the two of them, and it is constantly in need of repairs and patches to keep out the elements. Despite its ramshackle appearance, Harmug and Karg have made the lean-to their own, and they have done their best to make it as comfortable as possible.

Inside the lean-to, there is a small bed made of rags and blankets, a crude cooking area with a small fire pit, and a few shelves and racks for storing Harmug's supplies and equipment. The walls and roof are made of patched together scraps of metal, wood, and fabric, and the floor is covered in dirt and grime. It is home, and Harmug and Karg make do with what they have.

Karg serves as an early warning system, barking and growling at anyone who approaches, and Harmug is always ready to defend himself with his weapons and his wits. The lean-to may not be much, but Harmug and Karg will fight to the death to protect it.

The vile, murky stream that runs next to Harmug and Karg's lean-to is a source of both danger and opportunity for the two of them. The stream is a breeding ground for all manner of dangerous creatures, from venomous snakes and spiders to giant, carnivorous fish. It is also polluted and contaminated, and the water is not safe to drink or bathe in.

On the other hand, the stream is also a source of food and resources for Harmug and Karg. The water is home to a variety of edible plants and animals, and Harmug is skilled at fishing and hunting in the stream's shallow, muddy waters.

The stream also serves as a natural barrier between the lean-to and the rest of the city, providing an extra layer of protection against raiders and other threats. Harmug has set up a number of traps and along the stream's banks, and he and Karg are always on the lookout for danger.

Across the stream from Harmug and Karg's lean-to is a fetid garbage dump, a sprawling heap of refuse and waste that stretches out as far as the eye can see. The garbage dump is a place of constant activity, as scavengers and traders come and go in search of valuable items or raw materials to sell or trade. It is a place of danger as well, as the garbage dump is home to all manner of dangerous creatures and vermin.

Despite the dangers, the garbage dump is an important source of income and resources for Harmug and Karg. Harmug is skilled at scavenging through the garbage and finding valuable items that he can sell or trade. Karg is also a valuable asset in this regard, sniffing out hidden treasures and guarding Harmug while he works.

Harmug is digging a secret network of tunnels under the garbage dump as a way to protect himself and his belongings from raiders and other dangers. The tunnels are narrow and cramped, and they twist and turn through the garbage and debris that lies beneath the surface. Harmug has spent months digging and shoring up the tunnels, and he has outfitted them with a number of traps and defenses to keep out intruders.

The tunnels are also a place where Harmug can hide and store his most valuable possessions, including his weapons, supplies, and other valuable items that he has scavenged or acquired through trade.
