Adamant Entertainment is proud to present the first in our new series of officially-licensed adventures set in Freeport: the City of Adventure!
For a time¸ the thieves of Freeport were a scourge the likes of which the worst pirates could only envy. They were dangerous. They were organized. They were smart. For years¸ a powerful thieves guild thrived in the city of adventure¸ growing ever richer as the honest citizens --- well¸ honester citizens --- suffered.
It was a century gone by that the Sea Lord Marquetta engaged the guild in the so-called Back Alley War¸ breaking their back and scattering them to the four winds... or the gibbet. The gangs that plague Freeport today are a pale shadow of the guild that was.
Men and women of great vision and limited morality have often attempted to rebuild the guild¸ to unite the gangs into a new great power. All have failed. Any attempt to forge the gangs into a force to match the guild of old is doomed to failure.
That's the funny thing about Freeport¸ though. The city's come a long way¸ and "doomed" just isn't what it used to be.
