Daggerhand Park

From Mizahar Lore

Revision as of 22:26, 30 July 2019

Riverside Isle Park, now simply known to all as 'The Park', is the current Daggerhand base of operations near the city of Sunberth proper since the execution of their former Boss, Robern Dalagnar. It consists of a four and a half-acre forest shrouded isle to the north shore of the river which runs through Sunberth proper, bisecting the city as a whole before meeting together north of the isle into a singular river once again.

The Park in all of its beauty turned into Dalagnar's last laugh in the face of all of his enemies after his death. When the city turned on the syndicates in an act of civil decimation, The Daggerhand retreated to the Park where Stiletto first rallied the remnants of the gang, and fended off the horde that was Sunberth. It was a feat that could only have been done due to the first thing anyone ever sees when wanting to visit the park: the clockwork bridge.

Overview

The park itself is lovely. That alone is an ultimate irony given the most brutal gang in Sunberth controls it. Staggering vistas can be seen far off of the Slag Heap towards the east hills. The ruins of the burned down Rotting Mansion and gallows which acted as Dalagnar's execution stage can be seen to the north as a clear sign that the gang should always act with caution and brutality. The main attraction to many romantics in the city is a walk around the small wading pool at its center for those wishing to rest their feet after wandering the many stone gravel paths which wind their ways among the woodland isle.

One of The Park's most interesting features amidst its trees and hedges lies atop a small rise to the western edge of the isle. There lies a circle of 'standing stones' with some ancient clockwork device at the center within the ground. Most believe it to be a meeting spot for some Pre-Valt scholars because the stones seem to be designed like chairs around the assumed, Astronomy related, device.

While the park is beautiful, the citizens know better than to venture to the very northern point of the isle where the large brick three-story Daggerhand complex resides. For the Daggerhand, there is a small private dock towards the back of the building which the gang uses to transport supplies and reinforcements to and from the city. Using the river itself as one of their best assets. The Park's Manor has enough space to house half of the gang comfortably within it and below in its lower basement areas, with the rest needing to camp out on the park if necessary. On average, other than being beautiful, the land is typically used as a training ground.

Locations of Interest

The Clockwork Bridge

Before anyone ever finds themselves awe stuck by the Beauty of the Park, any historian or Gadgeteer of note would simply be baffled by the bridge leading to the Daggerhand Headquarters. The only means of access to the park past one northern Daggerhand River Docks rests The Clockwork Bridge.
