![]() |
Welcome to Fools Haven¸ City of Adventure¸ the Jewel of the Middenbight¸ and your new home. Adventurers from throughout the Vague World have braved the many dangers of the borderlands to seek their destiny as Free Traders within its mighty walls and some have even succeeded in making a little coin in the process. But the life of a Free Trader is a difficult one and many have abandoned the call to adventure or have given their lives following its siren song. But never fear¸ for where others have failed you shall surely succeed with the aid of these useful handbooks published by the Middenbight Midnight Mail! In Fools Haven¸ players take on the roles of Free Traders: adventurers¸ mercenaries¸ and entrepreneurs who have abandoned the simple life in favour of one of glory and great reward.

The Free Traders Guide is published by the Middenbight Midnight Mail offices in collaboration with several sponsors¸ including the Bizarre Bazaar¸ Coldburg Consultants¸ and the Henchman's Cabinet. It is primarily written by veteran reporter Aron Quill and its primary purpose is to appraise the reader of the layout of the town¸ the rights and responsibilities of a Free Trader¸ and other useful information relevant to the holder of a Free Trader's License.
