[QUOTE="Daztur, post: 5883125, member: 55680"] I've added a good bit to the new compilation: [url]https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6z-iUIH4P8aTlRpeU9YWTdSWTg/edit[/url] Note this is a new file since uploading new files is easier than changing the old one around. [b]The August City of Blind Midshotgatepool[/b] Hex 26.20 After flowing through the Barrier Range in a canyon that appears to have been blasted through the mountains with magic, the River of Crystal Waters exits into the Keening Sea at the August City of Blind Midshotgatepool. This city bears its name because long ago a band of adventurous Thringmen (16.16) drove the waker worms from their homes in the river delta and built the five fishing villages named Blindsnake, Midton, Banshot, Pontgate and Sepool. As the villages grew into towns, they became the main outlet of Thringish trade until it became rather ridiculous to think of them as anything but one city. Still, the rivers of the delta divide the five towns but not as much as the pride of its five lords who each jealously guard their prerogatives. However, these days the people of the August City care little for their lords as many of them were born on houseboats and the thieves guild is a greater power than any of the five in any case. This has been especially the case since the building of the Savage Seat. As the wealth of Blind Midshotgatepool steadily grew the men of the City of Shuttered Windows (29.14), grew jealous and fearful of their trade and sent their armada to bring the upstart to heel. The Duke of Thring protested vigorously, but the Thringish army was delayed by the Witch Clans (25.17) staging conveniently-timed ambushes in the Barrier Peaks and they arrived only in time to sign the humiliating Treaty Savage with victorious men of Shuttered. By the terms of the treaty, only ships beating the flag of the City of Shuttered Windows are allowed to carry trade from the River of Crystal Waters into the Keening Sea and in order to enforce it the men of Shuttered built the Savage Seat in the midst of the vanquished city. It is of a strange construction, seeming to be a vast pile of statues writhing and interlocking into a great tower that grows larger with each moon. If any unauthorized ship is seen leaving the August City into the Keening Sea, the tower sends up a balloon that signals to the Shuttered armada to apprehend it. With Shuttered having a stranglehold on its trade, Blind Midshotgatepool has grown poor and the locals mainly survive by smuggling, trade up the river with Thring, signing on to work as sailors and oarsmen for their hated hegemons and weaving the bizarre cloth that the city if famous for. Hooks: -What sorts of problems arise from the city still legally being five separate towns? What is unique about each of the five towns? -What are waker worms? What happened to them? -Tell me about the powerful local thieves guild! -How is the Savage Seat built? Is there are captive medusa locked within? How do the local smugglers get past it? [/QUOTE]
