Sunberth

[Otaia]

I have a general idea of how Sunberth functions, and I'm just wondering if it's entirely accurate.

As far as I can tell, it's an anarchist city. But, in a way, I find it to be "organized anarchy." In the sense that if one commits a crime, they may be punished Not necessarily punished in a legal, judicial manner, and thrown into the slammer, but possibly punished by the populace of Sunberth. As in, "You killed my buddy, I think you should be punished, so I'm going to kill you!"

So, as far as I can tell, Sunberth has it's own sort of form of justice, based on the slightly twisted morals of its residents. Is this an accurate assumption?

I think that is an accurate description. Here are two quotes from the Sunberth Players Guide that you might find useful:

To many, Sunberth is a city of opportunity. There is no law and no public authority, which means there’s no one to stand in the way of your efforts and ideas... except the Sunberthans themselves, of course.

Otherwise, Sunberth is a very free city. It’s an anarchy, after all. There are no real rules and people can get away with a lot before sparking the collective anger of the population. Therefore, it’s ideal for characters that want to pursue questionable goals and lifestyles or just build up experiences in certain martial professions or make easy money when you’ve got the necessary skill for it. It’s also a city where influence between warring factions sways very quickly and you build enough reputation to influence the city as a whole through your actions, no matter your social status. Of course, this comes with both perks and downsides, but the opportunity is nevertheless present.
