Where is Shark in Kenshi?
Shark is a town in The Swamp zone, held by the Swampers. On our map it sits at -47,041, 48,137 — south-east of Squin and south of The Hub. Here you will find 7 shops, 2 unique residents, 5 possible recruits, The Holy Nation pacifier and the Grayflayers headquarters.
The trading hub of the Swamp, nominally Swamper but really run by the Hounds. You can gamble in a Blackshifters-run bar and buy a house here, but blood spiders, bar thugs, Red Sabres and Swamp Ninjas keep things lively.
