But where else can you find Grunt (the barbarian) playing darts, arm-wrestling with Brunhilda (the blacksmith), pat Tumbelina, the serving wench on the (ahem!!), or gamble away your hard-earned silvers in the rigged games of Gahnyff, the gambler? Nowhere but in THE COMPLEAT TAVERN!!! In THE COMPLEAT TAVERN, you can find potent liquor, winsome wenches, games of skill (arm wrestling & darts), and games of chance (Roulette, Chuck-a-Luck, & Dice games of various design), food (watch the cook’s greasy thumb), lodging (complete with fleas), wild rumors (and maybe even reliable reports), and maybe even a good barroom brawl.

"Listen, O Wayfarer, and hear a tale of long ago in the days of the great hero Tagam Dragohbrother. In those times worship of Syrenthia, the great goddess, was strong in these lands. Strong too was her priesthood, for her priests were great and learned men. Among the greatest was Aript, who was the Abbot of Calthonwey. . It came to pass, in theautumn of the lastyearof the Reign of Meso the Wise, that Aript was visiting a village near the Troll Fens. As he was returning to the inn from visiting a sick farmer, he encountered a bedraggled young lad who spoke no known language. Aript befriended the boy against the advice of the villagers. The boy was fair of countenance, yet also he was dark of coloring, in hair, skin and eyes. Aript called him Liodga, which means "black pearl," for his coloring and rarity of appearance. The superstitious villagers called him Liodcinat, which means "black serpent." They feared the circumstances of the boy's appearance and behind Aript's back (or so they thought), they made signs against the evil eye. Aript was not unobservant, and he feared for the boy's life at the hands of the villagers. So it was that Aript took Liodga away into the night like a theif. The travellers reached the Abbey without incident, and Liodga was inducted into the priesthood. Years passed and Calthonwey prospered. The Abbey's dual choir of f rocked priests and martial monks was renowned through the realm. As with Calthonwey so with Liodga, for he was favored by the Master of the Abbey, and the dark one came to stand high in the Order. It was in the year of the Long Winterthat Aript's soul left his mortal shell to begin the Great Astral Journey. In accordance with the ancient rules, the Order met in conclave to elect his successor. When the ballots were cast and the tally made, it was discovered that to Liodga had gone the majority of votes. This was strange, for few of the priests would admit to favoring him for the position. Geshyan, a wise and respected patriach of the order, spoke out vehemently against the election of Liodga, but the chapter upheld the decision as it had been accomplished in the ancient way. Lo, the very day after Liodga's assumption of the position of Abbot, Geshyan was found headless within his own locked room. The new Abbot announced that it was the god's punishment of Geshyan for disputing the ancient ways. Unbelieving, several of theolder priests objected, but Liodga would hear no words against his. By the next morning the cells of the outspoken priests were empty. Mostfeltthey had simply left during thesecret hours of the night, but others darkly hinted that Liodga was responsible. Under Liodga the Temple continued to garner wealth, though now the lands around the Temple began to suffer. Those who sought to evade or dispute Liodga's tithe frequently met with terrible accidents. Yet as Liodga's power and influence grew, so did unrest in some parts of the order. The simple folk of the land began to fear a coming of strife amongst the priests that would reach out to encompass them, and they dreaded the coming of a religious war. And so finally word spread through the land that Jarfar Lindenstaff, master of the martial monks, had quarreled openly with Liodga and named him blasphemer. Soon after this word came the news that the Abbey itself was hidden from men. It remained so for 100 long years. When Clathonwey was again seen by men of good faith, the lands about it were blasted and barren and none were seen about it. The fates of the priests to this day remain unknown, for the few brave men that have approached the Abbey return with tales of haunting and dread evil." 1979 ... R.

Over 25 complete scenarios are outlined in the Free City, guaranteed to provide your players with dozens of hours of challenging adventure, as they try to find the missing heir of a reknowned hobbit adventurer, match wits with the con artists at the open air bazaar, Trade Island, or seek to uncover the papers that reveal the High Judge's incriminating secret!!!

This full color map illustrates the overall layout of the city, and identifies over 100 important landmarks.

GL 1931  City of the Sacred Flame
"PRIMITIVE PASSIONS run high in the city of Zal’ Akhen, from the gladiatorial combats of the Arena to the gaudily displayed delights of the great trade Bazaar, and in the hearts of the fanatical zealots who serve the Temple of Zat'ak as High Priests or as warriors in the Legion of Fiery Vengeance. As the capital of the loose confederation of tribes that occupy the northern and eastern reaches of the High Valley, there are men and women here who wield great power — including skilled battle mages in the highest levels of the Temple hierarchy, the mysterious Cleff, the unchallenged master of the bazaar, and the Lord of Zal’ Akhen, the hereditary ruler of the Council of Nations and Supreme Commander of the Zat'akhari army. Despite its present might, Zal’ Akhen remains a city heavily focused on its past — and its prophesised future. The seven eternal flames maintained around the city symbolize the meteoric seven year reign of the warrior wizard Zat'ak, who purchased great power at the cost of his soul, and whose dying words swore that he would return to claim his revenge on those who had defeated him. And so the Temple and the people of Zal’ Akhen serve his memory and watch — and wait. City of the Sacred Flame is a complete campaign module, detailing the inhabitants, shops, and other places of interest in Zal’ Akhen. This module can be used independently or in conjunction with other Gamelords campaign packs — particularly Within the Tyrant's Demesne, which describes the fortress city of dhar Ankhes on the southern end of the High Valley, where Zat'ak met his fiery end. This module utilizes the Thieves' Guild rules system, but is compatible with any major fantasy role-playing system. City of the Sacred Flame contains a detailed city map, dozens of shop and NPC descriptions, city encounter tables, and two complete introductory scenarios — enough material for months of adventuring.

"Here in dhar Ankhes, the fortress city that stands at the headwaters of the Dorian River, there always seems to be someone looking over your shoulder! It could be the Redshirts, the well- drilled local militia that serves as a personal police force for the city's ruler, Count Utrant — or the denizans of the Darknight Brigade, the loosely organized web of underworld informants that supply intelligence to Utraiit's right hand man, High Councillor Hilton Spear, in exchange for freedom to practice their illicit trades. Or it could be agents of the renegade merchant group, the Sovereign Society, whose members seek greater control over the city's economic policies, and have vowed the overthrow of the Count's regime to get it — or any of the half- dozen factions of the magicians and artificers struggling for control of the local Wizards Guild. Yes, dhar Ankhes is a city awash with intrigue, where an adventurer is well- advised to step cautiously — but it is also a city filled with lucrative opportunity for any man who can keep his eyes and ears open, his blade ready, and his mouth shut! Within the Tyrant's Demesne is a complete campaign module, detailing the inhabitants, shops, and other places of interest in dhar Ankhes. It can be used independently or in conjunction with other Gamelords campaign packs, particularly City of the Sacred Flame, which describes the stronghold of dhar Ankhes' traditional nemesis, the barbarian tribesmen of Zal' Akhen.
