Lankhmar

Fritz Leiber's Nehwon setting is richly detailed in this series of accessories. The city of Lankhmar especially benefits from this treatment. Maps, buildings, famous personages (more than Fafhrd & the Gray Mouser), and all new stories to tell. Fans -- even non-gamers -- will find these books fascinating.




The New Adventures of Fafhrd and Gray Mouser
"LANKHMAR - city of thieves, city of adventure. Home to FAFHRD and the GRAY MOUSER, the greatest adventurers in the world of Newhon.

"Fritz Leiber's classic characters and world spring to life in this stand-alone role-playing game. Featuring a streamlined set of rules that were designed expressly for LANKHMAR adventures, yet are fully compatible with the ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS game, this boxed set lets two or more players invent their own tales of high adventure in the winding, shadowy streets of Lankhmar. It includes three books: an easy-to-read rulebook, a guide to creating exciting adventures in the world of Newhon, and a pre-made adventure, plus a two-sided, full-color poster map of the City of LANKHMAR and the world of NEWHON."

One of the best urban settings ever designed for D&D." ...Amazon review by "Darkseraphim"

Swords of Deceit (CA2)
"In the dead of the night, a ghastly fog shrouds the deserted streets. Doors are locked, windows shuttered, as a deathly silence haunts the shadows. Almost all of Lankhmar's citizens cower in their homes. Tonight the streets and alleys of Lankhmar belong to the ancient gods - this is the Night of Fear.
Whose life will be lost this night - a lonely wench abandoned in the street? Perhaps a young noblewoman betrayed by her family?
You can find out, as you venture into the dark and winding streets of Lankhmar. But beware, eyes are already watching you."

Wonders of Lankhmar (LNR1)
"...Within these pages are dozens of short adventures perfect for an afternoon's or evening's enjoyment. Your characters may be hired to protect the Overlord from assassination. They might choose to take positions as caravan guards on a dangerous passage through a crocodile-infested swamp. Or, perhaps they'd prefer a quiet night on the town. (They might well prefer it; the question is, can they find it?)..."

Tales of Lankhmar (LNR2)
"Come to the streets of adventure in the fabled City of Lankhmar! From the alerooms of the Silver Eel (premiered in striking detail), to sewers of Lankhmar Below (the rats revisited); no one knows what will happen next in this celebrated capital of fantasy adventuring.

Hire on, in 'A Cask of Trouble,' to guard a wine-tasting from the vengeful Vintner's Guild. Dare, if you will, 'The Red God's Curse,' in which little is as it seems. Aid the wizards Sheelba of the Eyeless Face and Ningauble of the Seven Eyes at an era's end, 'When Walks the Wyrm.' Undertake an expedition of inquiry for the Lankhmar Society of Sages to 'The Land of the Pale Ones.' Learn if the Thieves' Guild really has a hand in 'The House of Mazes.'

Beware strange priests and darkest alleys, lest you meet 'A New God.' Finally, no anthology of Lankhmar would be complete without a trip to its maze-like sewers, wherein rages 'War in Lankhmar Below' (a follow-up to the adventure 'Return of the Rats,' from CA2, Swords of Deceit).

The latest 64-page LANKHMAR anthology contains seven original adventures for a party of four to eight characters, levels 3 to 10."

Thieves of Lankhmar (LNA1)
"Thieves of Lakhmar is a companion volume to the AD&D game accessory, Lankhmar, City of Adventure and further enhances the exciting, dark, and dangerous setting of that Nehwonian city. Thieves of Lakhmar is the definitive sourcebook for any and all who are interested in the Thieves' Guild, perhaps the most powerful single guild or organization in Lankhmar. Existing knowledge on every aspect of the Thieves' Guild (its operations, principal officers, members, history, hidden agendas, the famed Thieves' House) as well as pertinent information on the guild's principal nemeses in Lankhmar is contained in these pages. Additional data on Lankhmart government and justice and settings for further adventures in the City of the Black Toga are here also. Indeed, this tome is a wealth of information for any who earn their livings in Lankhmar by "procuring" others' wealth - and for those who may cross or fight them."

Nehwon (LNA2)
"It is the year of the Zodac-no-Kara, the year of the wizards' champions. Once every 140 years, the search for grand and glorious magical items is called, and adventurers from far and wide convene to participate in the hunt. This year, though...this year is even more exciting than the last.
Newhon's already-sparse magic is being leached from the land itself. Powerful magical items are being misused, and Aarth has called for the bravest and most daring adventurers to collect these items and return them to him for safe-keeping. Those who accept this quest will travel from one end of Newhon to the other, and even beyond, into the realm of Shadowland. They will be tested by cold, heat, water, and ice. Their rewards will be great - should they survive to collect."

The Fiction: Fafhrd & The Gray Mouser Series


Swords And Deviltry
"THE FIRST BOOK OF FAFHRD AND THE GRAY MOUSER
WHEREIN...
the two greatest heroes in the annals of fantasy meet for the first time.
Here is the beginning of the legendary epic that has become a classic of fantasy adventure. At first, they seemed an unlikely pair: Fafhrd, the white-robed princeling of the barbaric cold waste; the Gray Mouser, a wizardling suspended between magic white and black.
Little did they realize, as they suspiciously eyed each other that night in murky Lankhmar, that they were two long-sundered, matching halves of a greater hero-that they would becomrades through a thousand quests and a hundred lifetimes of adventures, with their SWORDS AND DEVILTRY."

Swords Against Death
THE SECOND BOOK OF FAFHRD AND THE GRAY MOUSER
WHEREIN...
two formidable young heroes embark on a quest to forget their sorrows, and make the acquaintance of two equally formidable old wizards.
When Fafhrd the Barbarian and the Gray Mouser, the two greatest adventurers who ever lived, lose their first loves to all-conquering Death, their lives seem futile and empty -- until they set forth on a quest that leads them through unknown continents to fabulous treasure, deadly swordsmen and cunning wizards; a quest in which they must steal: a skull, a small house, the eye of a vengeful idol... and the mask of the greatest thief of all, Death himself, in SWORDS AGAINST DEATH."

Swords in the Mist
"THE THIRD BOOK OF FAFHRD AND THE GRAY MOUSER
WHEREIN...
the two greatest swordsmen in Lankhmar try out a new way of life, but give it up in favor of the lure of the sea and an Adept's Gambit.
The lives of adventurers and soldiers-of-fortune often take strange and hazardous turns, leading them into perilous sea voyages, contests with scheming sorcerers, and encounters with desirable enchantresses.
But no one could have predicted the path that was to fake Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser from the back alleys of Lankhmar to weird adventures along the coasts of Nehwon's Inner Sea (and under it); across harsh deserts and cold mountains, to a tomb with a dreadful secret and the most taxing sword fight in the Gray Mouser's duel-starred life, and the end of the quest for the Castle Called Mist, in the trial of their SWORDS IN THE MIST."

Swords Against Wizardry
"THE FOURTH BOOK OF FAFHRD AND THE GRAY MOUSER
WHEREIN...
a city thief and an expatriate barbarian venture to climb an unclimbable mountain and penetrate an unfathomable kingdom.
In the for northern wastes of Nehwon stands the unscalable mountain peak called Stardock. It is said that one may find demons and gods at its heights- not to mention fabulous treasure. Despite the harrowing danger, Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser are interested-especially when the Snow King's daughters make an appearance...
But even star jewels don't last forever. Soon the heroes must take on a new adventure, this time in the terror-filled kingdom of Quarmall, where sorcery and intrigue mix only too well, and the adventurers learn that often the end of a quest lies not in treasure, but in treachery, particularly when pitting SWORDS AGAINST WIZARDRY."

Swords of Lankhmar
"THE FIFTH BOOK OF FAFHRD AND THE GRAY MOUSER
WHEREIN...
the Mouser chases a worthy rat, and sundry monsters tame each other.
The overlord's chamberlain addressed them as: "Fafhrd the northern barbarian and brawler" and "That mongrel and long-suspected burglar, cut-purse, swindler and assassin, the Gray Mouser"-but they were still the best fighting-men in all Lankhmar, and they could command a handsome fee to guard a Lankhmar ship bearing gifts to a neighboring monarch.
For once, it looked like an easy job, with smooth sailing all the way; but just as the heroes were taking a well-deserved rest, danger struck -- in the form of some angry Mingol raiders, a two-headed sea serpent (and rider), and an army of tiny, implacable warriors. But that was only the beginning of the foes awaiting SWORDS OF LANKHMAR."

Swords and Ice Magic
"THE SIXTH BOOK OF FAFHRD AND THE GRAY MOUSER
WHEREIN...
the gods, the sea, and Death himself conspire to lure our heroes into the Shadow Lands, but they follow their true mistress, Adventure.
They are the two greatest heroes the world has ever known: rogues and brawlers, to be sure, but also powerful swordsmen of inimitable daring and skill. In the twisted streets of Lankhmar it is said That there is no danger they haven't out-faced, no strange sight they haven't seen.
Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser would agree -- until two mysterious ladies entice them on a journey to Rime Isle, a legendary land that proves to be all too real as they confront the treachery of gods and men, and an ancient evil that is nearly their undoing in this their most perilous adventure yet: SWORDS AND ICE MAGIC."
