CA1: Swords of the Undercity

For 5-6 Characters, Levels 8-12

LANKHMAR . . . city of thieves, city of the night, city of adventure. Once again, a dark bargain has been struck, and a murder committed in a dark and narrow street. An ancient book, an expedition through the Sinking Lands, and a strange treasure brought back to the city were enough to trigger the envy of the rich and the powerful.

Deadly plots are conceived, concocted, and brewed like ancient poisons. In the dead of the night stalks the might of a temple, in the wake of a secret and arcane intrigue.

Where the path of adventure meets terrible creatures of the night and the envy of so many, will you be able to survive the tricks and dangers of ancient LANKHMAR? Use your wits and ingenuity and perhaps with some luck your success might overshadow the might of the city's two fabled heroes, Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser.

You can find out, as you venture into the dark and winding streets of Lankhmar. But beware, eyes are already watching you.

LNA1: Thieves of Lankhmar

Official Game Adventure

by Nigel Findley

Thieves of Lankhmar is a companion volume to the AD&D game accessory, Lankhmar, City of Adventure and further enhances the exciting, dark, and dangerous setting of that Nehwonian city. Thieves of Lankhmar is the definitive sourcebook for any and all who are interested in the Thieves' Guild, perhaps the most powerful single guild or organization in Lankhmar. Existing knowledge on every aspect of the Thieves' Guild (its operations, principal officers, members, history, hidden agendas, the famed Thieves' House) as well as pertinent information on the guild's principal nemeses in Lankhmar is contained in these pages. Additional data on Lankhmart government and justice and settings for further adventures in the City of the Black Toga are here also. Indeed, this tome is a wealth of information for any who earn their livings in Lankhmar by "procuring" others' wealth - and for those who may cross or fight them.

LNA2: Nehwon

For 6-7 Characters of Levels 7-12

Official Game Adventure

by Blake Mobley

It is the year of the Zodac-no-Kara, the year of the wizards' champions. Once every 140 years, the search for grand and glorious magical items is called, and adventurers from far and wide convene to participate in the hunt. This year, though. . . this year is even more exciting than the last.

Nehwon's already-sparse magic is being leached from the land itself. Powerful magical items are being misused, and Aarth has called for the bravest and most daring adventurers to collect these items and return them to him for safe-keeping. Those who accept this quest will travel from one end of Nehwon to the other, and even beyond, into the realm of Shadowland. They will be tested by cold, heat, water, and ice. Their rewards will be great - should they survive to collect.

Is your party worthy of the Zodac-no-Kara? Take the test of the riddles, and find out.

Beware strange priests and darkest alleys, lest you meet "A New God". Finally, no anthology of Lankhmar would be complete without a trip to its maze-like sewers, wherein rages "War in Lankhmar Below" (a follow-up to the adventure "Return of the Rats", from CA2, Swords of Deceit).
