Shackled City

Getting going with the prep work again. Now I really want to make this good. So far, I'm copying/converting stat blocks. I need to find some minor story arcs, some stuff that'll keep the campaign going on a smaller level. If everything points to an 18th-level showdown, the players will die of boredom even as their characters try to find out what the fuss is all about. I need to re-read the damn thing in search of foreshadowing clues and minor villains.

The slavery theme is one that should be explored. One of the Cagewrights is behind most of the slave trade in the region. Taking him (her? it?) out will be a good mid-level goal for the PCs.
