Torrich is a large city in Kingdom of Ahlissa, formerly in the southeastern Great Kingdom. It is to the west of cities like Jalpa, Rel Deven, and Kalstrand.
History
The city was originally built as a castle stronghold atop a hill, around which the town was formed. With the castle never having fallen, Torrich gained a reputation as a haven. Along with its relative distance to the west, this led to a flood of refugees from the western part of the Great Kingdom during and just after the Greyhawk Wars, raising the population from 19,000 prewar to 27,000.[1]
Geography
Torrich is south and to the west of Jalpa, located just west of the Flanmi River.[1]
Cityscape
The entire city is overcrowded, especially with all the refugees, and rather dirty and decrepit, especially the shanty town that has sprung up to the east of the city. The original fortress still stands, overlooking the city from a hill just to the north. The city also boasts a Thieves' Quater, which is mostly inhabited by mercenaries in Prince Dilweg's Employ, including a handful of half-orcs, and possibly, according to rumors, drow. There is often trouble that flares up there, but it rarely spreads to the rest of the city.
