The heroes were hired by many of the regions merchants and city officials whom have pooled their resources together to put and end to this scourge. These Slavelords are based somewhere in the lands of the '''Pomarj''', a wild, mountainous region overrun by Humanoids and dark forces. No one really knows where exactly these Slaverlords are based out of but it is believed that one of their most important ports is the old ruined city of '''Highport'''. The heroes are to head to the city, incognito like, and figure out where the Slavelords base is. Their mission includes destroying this base of operation if possible but more importantly figuring out where the Slavelords themselves are located and stopping them any way possible. | The heroes were hired by many of the regions merchants and city officials whom have pooled their resources together to put and end to this scourge.

It had been mostly abandoned until the late CY560's when a fanatical group of warriors know as the ''''Iron Templar'''' seized control of it and rebuilt the docks. Over the next ten years black trade was established here and it became a base for pirates of both the human and humanoid kind. Recently the Slavers have also been operating here and it is believed that they were behind the Black Templar seizing the port in the first place. Now a few humanoid tribes inhabit parts of the city and the Templar maintain an uneasy peace between them. Slavery is practiced openly here along with other dark trade but no one knows exactly where the Slavelords operate from or even the base of power in the city. |
In order to reach Highport without arousing suspicion, the various officials and groups that hired the heroes also hired a ship of ill repute by the name of the '''''Ghoul''''' captain by one referred to as the Mad Elf. The captain proves to be a Drow, a semi-mythical race of underdark dwellers. Most people don't really believe that Drow exist but the captain fits the supposed description of one (even most Elves don't believe in Drow at this time, in this world and my setting). | In order to reach Highport without arousing suspicion, the various officials and groups that hired the heroes also hired a ship of ill repute by the name of the '''''Ghoul''''' captain by one referred to as the Mad Elf.
