Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bibliophile" data-source="post: 1167385" data-attributes="member: 9742">Well, I'm starting up a campaign in a city soon, this is what I'm using:"Shonal is a fairly large, metropolitan city, and one of the few remaining strongholds of humankind (regarded as a servitor race in most of the world).  Its walls are high, and its markets are extensive.  Yet, unrest lies even here, you [the party] have been hired by a prominent noble to help protect his new wife from assasination attempts.  You see, there's been an age-long feud between the noble's house, Arkain, and the Hattorain (who are believed to be behind the assasination attempts).  Now, this all sounds fairly plain, but the noble's new wife is a celestial who chose to live with the mortal races.  On top of all this, a few of the caravans sent out to the south by the House Arkain have fell to raiding parties with unusual allies: demons."Basically the goals are to protect the noble's new wife, find out and stop the source of the assasination attempts, and figure out what's going on with the caravans.  To make it all more interesting, the Captain of the Guard is from House Hattorain, so they better have really good evidence before they can prosecute them.  What the party doesn't know, however, is that the noble's wife isn't really a celestial, but an Erynies in disguise.  The assasination attempts are coming from a group calling themselves the Golden Hand, and are lead by a Paladin from the church of the local god of trickery.  In addition, erynies is after a powerful artifact necessary to complete an Evil Ritual (tm), which can only be retrived by someone in the noble's bloodline.  You guessed it, it's in the south, and the demons don't want anyone affiliated with the noble to get a hold of it, as completion of the Evil Ritual (tm) would entail a fair advantage for the devils in the blood war.</blockquote>
