City Backdrop: Languard (Patreon)

Ah Languard, how I've been looking forward to releasing this book! As you probably know, I started work on Languard last year--live designing the city week by week over on my blog. This week's release presents the first look at Languard, capital city of Ashlar. I hope you enjoy it.

What's also rather cool is that a few weeks ago I was able to start a sporadic campaign in the city and its surrounds. I've enjoyed sharing Languard with my players and even better--I've been doing extra design based now what happens in our sessions. It turns out play is a great impetus to design!

Languard

Storied Languard—capital of Ashlar and its greatest city—stands hard against Hard Bay’s turbulent, stormy waters. To the north lies the Mottled Spire’s brooding spray-drenched mass, the curse-haunted ruins of Greystone and Gloamhold’s doom-wreathed halls. Ashlar’s greatest—indeed only—city, Languard is a noisy, dirty place. Here, amid broad, muddy streets teeming with life and shadow-mantled, danger-filled alleyways there is little beneath the sun that cannot be had somewhere—for a price.

Few Languardians overly concern themselves with the brooding terrors lurking within Gloamhold’s halls, but for others, the legendary, benighted ruin draws them to Languard as a moth to a flame. For within Languard’s stout walls live, plot and scheme a surprising number of adventurers, freebooters and mercenaries all lured here by the treasures said to lie but a scant few miles to the north.
