I am about to DM the 'classic' A1-A4 Slavers' campaign, but would like to transplant it to the Forgotten Realms.
I own FRCS but haven't played/DMed much in the Realms, so would really appreciate any advice on where in Faerun to place the modules (my initial thought was possibly the Sword Coast?)
I summarise and paraphrase the background information below. I don't mind changing what is necessary, but would like to remain as true to the spirit of the original mods as possible.
The initial background (given to the players) is that bands of pirates and slavers have for several years been raiding coastal towns, descending on a town and carrying its citizens off into the night. The local rulers have been too preoccupied with their own feuds to mount a serious assault on the slavers, and many of the lords just bribed them to stay away.
Recently the attacks have been becoming more frequent and more vicious, burning whole towns and villages and leaving tracts of land in ashes, with all able-bodied citizens carried off and the rest killed.
The lords have finally decided to rise above their petty conflicts and take action. Through information gained from escaped slaves, the lords have tracked the slaves to a port - a despoiled and degenerate city with a large humanoid population. Mingling in this port city, the characters have obtained information leading them to a ruined temple compound, where the adventure begins.
