Pit of Tortured Souls - Factions

I have been rereading my posts and notes regarding the Pit of Tortured Souls and thinking about next steps. It has piqued my interest again and I will likely do some more work on it.

Looking at the list of special monsters that I was planning on using got me thinking about what their relationships would be like. I think these will allow PCs to interact with various groups in different ways.

Amazons

• View themselves as the Ghoul-Queen's favorites
• Look down upon the lowly kobolds and bestial gnolls
• Are Sidra's hand in the wider world
• Hate all men

Kobolds

• Would love to throw off the yoke of their Gnoll overseers but know they can't stand up to one tribe of them much less two
• Like to dominate the gnorlock slaves who are likely the only inhabitants of the Pit more lowly than themselves

Gnolls

• Two tribes competing for the Ghoul-Queen's favour
• Each wants to claim the Pit as their own territory and eliminate the other tribe
• Pick on the weaker kobolds

Gnorlocks

• Subjugated by the gnolls and kobolds
• Some have escaped the slave pens and are hiding deeper in the mines. They secretly continue to contact those that are still slaves and encourage them to rise up in a likely ill-advised rebellion
• Some that have escaped have ventured into the Cyst of the Slimes and have been charmed by the Great Grey Ooze
• Some of the other escapees may be influenced by some of the grey ooze charmed gnorlocks
• The gnorlocks in the mine ostracize and torment the few hobgoblin slaves

Mothmen

• Eat Slug People

Slug People

• Want to be rid of the mothmen and live in peace

Discarded

• Pathetic creatures that lurk in the shadows trying to avoid the Fleshshifters

Fleshshifters

• Alien creatures that serve the Ghoul-Queen for some unknown reason and try to find subjects of all species for their vile experiments

Fire Salamanders

• Hang out

Great Grey Ooze

• Who can tell the mind of an ooze?
