Dungeon Fantasy: Hell's Rebels
Welcome to Kintargo, the greatest beacon of freedom in the literal fascist hellhole that is Cheliax!
The Thrice-Damned House of Thrune has ruled this benighted nation for a hundred years, erasing and revising any records of its history that do not agree with their diabolic philosophies! Culturally and geographically isolated from the rest of the country, Kintargo has stood as a haven for those who crave the freedom to live as they wish away from the eyes of Hell.
As a force of zealous knights of Iomedae (goddess of justice) wages a holy war against the Thrune regime in central Cheliax, Queen Abrogail II decrees martial law across the whole nation! Paracount Barzilai Thrune has volunteered to enforce this decree in Kintargo, and his arrival was preceeded by the mysterious disappearance of the former Lord-Mayor and a mysterious wave of arson and murder!
In these trying times, some citizens look to the legend of the Silver Ravens, a group of heroes and rebels who resisted the house of Thrune decades ago. Little is known about them other than "they existed", but the idea that someone was brave enough to make a stand is enticing.
As we open our curtains, a large crowd gathers to protest in front of the Kintargo Opera House, which Barzilai Thrune has transformed into his headquarders. You find yourselves in this protest. Why?
The City of Kintargo
Visually and culturally, Kintargo is very similar to Renaissance Florence as depicted in Assassin's Creed 2. It's built on the mouth of the Yolubilis river, with the southern half of the city lying on an island named Argo Isle. A single bridge links the two halves. The skyline is dominated by Castle Kintargo (C1 on the map to the left), the Temple of Asmodeus (T3) and the spires of Alabaster Academy (V4), a somewhat prestigious university.
