The War of the Thieves Backup Files
Starting in summer of 2006, and ending in spring of 2008, this was a side campaign to The Grim Winter,
but advancing more slowly than the main game so players who couldn’t post as regularly as the rest didn’t have to quit our game.
The War of the Thieves essentially told the further adventures of the thief Rowell and his companions,
a group of NPCs the party had met during the first chapters of The Grim Winter,
and featured an adventuring party participating in the Coven’s (the Blackmoorian Thieves Guild’s)
conquest of the abandoned city of Mondburgh (based on Ernie and Luke Gygax’ lost city of Gaxmoor for Troll Lord Games’ setting of Erde).
Though relatively short and admittedly not very coherent, the game had a huge impact on the development of our campaign
and touched some of the topics that will alter be detailed in The Promised Land.
