The Tunnel Kings

Type Geopolitical, Free City
Leader The Tunnel King
Location Kurleigh
Controlled Territories Undercity

Structure

The Tunnel Kings are run by The Tunnel King. Every so often someone tries to bring up that running an entire community through one person is a difficult task, but then they disappear under mysterious circumstances and The Tunnel King continues their rule.

Culture

The Tunnel Kings are a true melting pot of cultures, almost more so than the castle it resides beneath. People of all sorts find sanctuary in the near anarchy of Kurleigh Castle's second level.

History

The general understanding of the history of The Tunnel Kings is that it was initially little more than a small pub, and a few houses, that criminals would use to hide out and do business. When The Tunnel King found it, they renovated and spread the word of a growing community. Several years, and a few skirmishes with Kurleigh Castle  military later, The Tunnel Kings thrive in their own little underground "paradise". 

As Kurleigh expanded, the citizens living on the second level were forced to integrate, flee, or move even further down. Now, those who decided to remain live wretched lives in the lower levels of the Undercity. Gas from natural reserves creeps its way up from deep within the earth making it difficult to breathe. The Tunnel King, in an attempt to save their people from a wretched fate, officially declared themselves a sovereign state. Too late they realized they were trapped beneath Kurleigh with no other way out than up. The people of Kurleigh did not want to let them through, so now people live their whole lives in the Undercity without ever seeing the light of day. The Undercity quickly fell to ruin. No proper infrastructure exists and anarchy reigns. The Tunnel King still resides there (for reasons unknown) and rules over a small group of people still known as The Tunnel Kings. However the rest of the levels have fallen to chaos as dangerous as Giant Country.
