| Tales of Adventure | Skullport is a city of ruffians and thieves ruled by
Seven Lords, who are little more than thieves themselves. The city began as a refuge and
trading post for the slime of society. Slowly it grew until now when it has four districts
(Common Town, Human Square, Dwarven Caverns, and Drow Isle) ruled by the Lords as well as
a booming slave trade right under the nose of Halaster, the Mad Mage of UnderMountain. The city is home to the largest thieves guild in existance and also the guilds of the Knights of Ares, the Clerics of Kalar, the Barbarians and the Mages. Mages have the honor and privilege of learning beneath the tutelage of the Archmage of the Drow Isle. From the ruined Fortress of the Melairkyn flows the River Sargauth. The River passes through Skullport and on towards the sea, providing Skullport with an avenue for trade with the surface cities. The largest trading is in slaves, slaves which come from a hidden compound somewhere in the caverns around Skullport. Skullport is home to few good people and even fewer innocents. It is a city of thieves and evil. Only the rough-and-tumble crowd enjoys Skullport; only the meanest live there. |
