A System Neutral Edition GM and rsquo;s Resource supplement by Creighton Broadhurst
Storied Languard and mdash;capital of Ashlar and its greatest city and mdash;stands hard against Hard Bay and rsquo;s turbulent, stormy waters. To the north lies the Mottled Spire and rsquo;s brooding spray-drenched mass, the curse-haunted ruins of Greystone and Gloamhold and rsquo;s doom-wreathed halls. Ashlar and rsquo;s greatest and mdash;indeed only and mdash;city, Languard is a noisy, dirty place. Here, amid broad, muddy streets teeming with life and shadow-mantled, danger-filled alleyways there is little beneath the sun that cannot be had somewhere and mdash;for a price.
Few Languardians overly concern themselves with the brooding terrors lurking within Gloamhold and rsquo;s halls, but for others, the legendary, benighted ruin draws them to Languard as a moth to a flame. For within Languard and rsquo;s stout walls live, plot and scheme a surprising number of adventurers, freebooters and mercenaries all lured here by the treasures said to lie but a scant few miles to the north.
