City of Thieves
Lands in Shadow for Shadow of the Demon Lord!
Along the southernmost reach of the Crescent Bay¸ a jumbled city covers a narrow¸ jagged peninsula¸ like a scab that just won't heal right. The city of Pruul was once a shining jewel with great wealth¸ power¸ and influence that equaled or even exceeded the other cities of the Confederacy of the Nine¸ of which it is a member. But the city's relentless greed and avarice caused it to tear itself apart¸ as a tiny minority of rich got richer¸ and the massive majority of the poor got poorer. In the aftermath of bloody riots that brought down the city's ruling elite¸ criminals and other unsavory elements filled the power vacuum as the only form of stability and order. Although a hollow shell of its former glory¸ Pruul¸ now known as the City of Thieves¸ serves as a hub for rogues¸ pirates¸ brigands¸ escaped slaves¸ debtors fleeing their debts¸ and a variety of other misfits and miscreants.
