Lankhmar 8: The Land of Eight Cities (5e)
A Setting Book for Lankhmar!
North of Lankhmar lies The Land of the Eight Cities¸ a young realm lying in the shadows of the Great Forest and rich in natural resources. This barely-tamed wilderness is rife with opportunities for adventure and riches¸ but also contains hitherto-unknown dangers. Nevertheless¸ for adventurers who've worn out their welcome in Lankhmar¸ the Forest Land is a welcoming place to escape their enemies in the City of the Black Toga.

For the first time in decades¸ new information¸ creatures¸ and even gods¸ all created by Leiber¸ are presented for use in your DCC Lankhmar campaign! You'll find details on the people¸ places¸ customs¸ and history of The Land of the Eight Cities¸ as well as plenty of inspiration for adventures to place there. It's the perfect resource for when the Thieves' Guild is breathing down your players' necks and they need a place to lay low!
