Adventurer’s Alley

If the city was a body, you’ve reached its heart—a thumping, raucous place, a mishmash of buildings with vibrant awnings occupied by even more colorful folk. A thrum of frenzied training and unconventional celebration undercuts an air of carnival danger. This side of the canal is no place for the common folk; there are more weapons at hips and over shoulders than in the barracks of any city watch. This is a place where rogues cheat clerics in dice and barbarians sample vintage wines on private divans. A place for adventurers to swap stories and magic trinkets, to wind down and up, to train and reequip, or to just try to forget the succubus who got away…

This map depicts a city district that is reached by crossing a canal on a stone bridge. There are two versions: a daytime one where most activities are above board, and a rainy night where things might be less so. Are your players here to equip before their first adventure? Or are they here to drown their sorrows and recover? Find descriptive text for various features by hovering over them on the map, or browse all included scenes in the list below.
