Betrayal At Tarsus Mor
![]() |
Each year¸ Lafaddius Eversweet leads the Caravan of Fools through the Valley of Long Shadows. To the small towns and villages¸ Lafaddius is a lifeline¸ bringing much needed news and trade. For most¸ it is a time of joy and celebration¸ but for a few¸ it is a time of sadness. Lafaddius recruits from among those that have come of age since his last visit. Offering a fair wage and a chance to see the great city of Tarsus Mor¸ it is a once in a lifetime opportunity young men and women of the valley can't resist. For those left behind¸ however¸ it is often the last time they see their loved ones¸ for few care to give up the opportunities in the city to return to the danger and poverty of the valley.
There is¸ however¸ a sinister side to Lafaddius Eversweet. Often recruiting more labourers and guards than he can possibly pay¸ Lafaddius honours a long standing agreement with the slavers of Tarsus Mor. Betraying those he considers excess cargo¸ Lafaddius delivers them directly to the slavers using an elaborate con. When the player characters sign on to the Caravan of Fools they learn that harsh truth when they themselves face betrayal at Tarsus Mor.
Do the player characters find themselves in chains¸ destined to compete in the combat arenas beyond the Black Dune Sea¸ or do they heed fate's warning¸ but face a stark choice ‐ save those they travelled with from a similar fate¸ or confront Lafaddius Eversweet before the Caravan of Fools travels beyond their reach.
