The city of Free Tooth is situated along the banks of the Ilarorn River. The depth of these waters facilitates the docking of sailing vessels within the city limits.

Free Tooth was settled by Gazdu and others of a ship named the Weretopia. Gazdu governed a diverse group of lycanthropes for just over a century. She came to be known to them as The Savior. Employing charisma rather than force, she was able to maintain wererats, werebadgers, werebears, and some werewolves in relative harmony. Her aim was to bolster the population and then permit them to determine their preferred course of action, whether to coexist or disperse into the wilderness.

In the year 1584, Gazdu Dras'ee passed away after ingesting poison. An excerpt from her suicide note stated the following:

I must depart this realm to bring my plan to fruition. My kindred souls rely too heavily on my leadership. They have grown strong, with the population of Free Tooth increasing a hundredfold since its founding. My passing will compel them to choose between remaining in the city to fight for dominance or fleeing into the frontiers to establish their own colonies along racial lines. I hope they opt for the latter, as we are too disparate to coexist peacefully within this city. Some have already left, with several hundred werebadgers residing in Turnîrâth and werewolf packs roaming freely along the Murk.

The Savior

When Gazdu perished, the shape-shifting beings descended into bickering, feuding, and infighting over the city. This civil conflict came to be known as the Shifter Separation. The more judicious and tranquil sought to heed the final directives of The Savior and depart for the untamed wilderness. Solely the wererats continued to occupy the city.
