Hello people,
I'm working on an adventure, and was thinking if you guys could help me by comming up with some ideas or hints.
My idea was that the whole adventure is taking place in one big city torn appart by thieves guilds. The guild are led by the aristocraty. The dukes ow whatever they are rule the city. As council they coöperate but underground they do everything possible to gain more power and oppose eachother.
The city is divided in nine parts, each part is under control of one of the council members. They have their own taxes, law system and so on, but the whole council also rule the city as a whole. It happens all the time that other families (of the council members, it works a bit liek the mob or as I said thieves guilds) raid the city parts controlled by other council members to gain more mony to get higer influence in the council. Others again work together so none of them will ever get to much power. There is a total balance of power, but meanwhile they undermine eachothers efforts. They cannot declare open war to eachoter because the council will prosecute the one who strarted. So balance is the mayor situation in the city.
The party consists of 5 PC's 3 of them used to be part of a family who just was prosecuted by the council. The other two are part of another house wich gives the three others a chance: or being hunt down and murdered , or joining the other house in their war against the others. So they are depended to eachother.
I already have though out the social aspect of the city. But nothing about a plot or plot hooks concerning the houses and so on.
Maybe you guys have more aspect or situations or even plot ideas!
Thanx,
Cil
