NIGHT CARESSED SHADIZAR, THAT CITY KNOWN AS 'THE WICKED', AND VEILED THE HAPPENINGS THAT JUSTIFIED HER NAME A THOUSAND TIMES OVER. THE SAME DARKNESS THAT BROUGHT RESPITE TO OTHER CITIES DREW OUT THE WORST IN 'SHADIZAR OF THE ALABASTER TOWERS', 'SHADIZAR OF THE GOLDEN DOMES', CITY OF VENALITY AND DEBAUCHERY. IN A SCORE OF MARBLE CHAMBERS, SILK-CLAD NOBLES COERCE THE WIVES OF OTHERS TO THEIR BEDS WHILE CORPULENT MERCHANTS LICK FAT LIPS COUNT HEAVY COINS FROM PALM TO GLISTENING PALM. NINE WOMEN AND THIRTY-ONE MEN, ONE BEGGAR AND A LORD WILL DIE BEFORE THE SHADOWS OF NIGHT RECEDE AND THE GOLD OF FIFTY WEALTHY MEN WILL DISAPPEAR FROM THEIR IRON VAULTS TO SWELL THE FORTUNES OF TEN OTHERS. IN THE STREETS AND BACK ALLEYS PAINTED THICK WITH OILY SHADOWS PERVERSIONS NEVER BEFORE CONTEMPLATED BY HUMANKIND ARE CREATED, EVEN AS TWISTED, RAGGED BEGGARS PREY ON THE TRULLS' WINE-SOAKED PATRONS. NO MAN WALKS THE STREETS UNARMED, BUT EVEN IN THE BEST QUARTERS OF THE CITY ARMS ARE OFTEN NOT ENOUGH TO SAVE ONE'S SILVER FROM CUTPURSES AND FOOTPADS. Welcome to Shadizar, City of Wickedness.
