=====The Shackled City===== //Evil schemes are afoot in Cauldron, a metropolis of merchants built into the caldera of a long-dormant volcano. To foil the agenda of evil cultists, your band of adventurers must brave haunted jungle ruins, slay mighty dragons, and bind themselves to a layer of the infinite Abyss. Will their swords and spells be enough to save the Shackled City?// ==== Background ==== Cauldron is located in the Hellfurnace Mountains, just south of Sasserine region near the Mwangui Expanse. Sasserine capital city is the nearest real city, almost a full week's ride to the North. Sasserine has heavy economic ties to the sea surroundings, and acts as a jumping off point for expeditions into the Amedio Jungle (the area around Cauldron) and connection to the rest of the civilized world thanks to its relevant harbor. Sasserine and its attendant states form a very loose economic partnership, with little more than light taxation ensuring that Sasserine's military troops patrols the major roads and keeps the shipping lanes open.
