HAVEN — Secrets of the Labyrinth
In this second volume of the HAVEN series, GMs will find detailed descriptions of over 120 shops, taverns and residences, numerous random encounters, and hundreds of NPCs, creating an ever-changing tapestry of events, personalities, conflict and intrigue.

Over a dozen scenarios are outlined for the GM's convenience, to provide hours of adventuring as the players become involved in the struggle of an exiled elvish prince to avoid capture and regain his throne, or the race to save a transformed son of a noble family from a fate worse than death in the Horse Market.

Secrets of the Labyrinth also includes 10 detailed neighborhood maps, completing the entire south side of the city, and showing such areas of interest as the South Docks, where the ships of many lands come with their fabulous cargos, the colorful bazaar called the Thieves' Market, and the forbidding towers of the city's prison, the Gray Halls.
So let your players become part of the continuing saga in HAVEN — The Secrets of the Labyrinth — the latest jewel in the story of the biggest and best fantasy city ever published!

Within the Tyrant's Demesne
"Here in dhar Ankhes, the fortress city that stands at the headwaters of the Dorian River, there always seems to be someone looking over your shoulder! It could be the Redshirts, the well- drilled local militia that serves as a personal police force for the city's ruler, Count Utrant — or the denizans of the Darknight Brigade, the loosely organized web of underworld informants that supply intelligence to Utraiit's right hand man, High Councillor Hilton Spear, in exchange for freedom to practice their illicit trades. Or it could be agents of the renegade merchant group, the Sovereign Society, whose members seek greater control over the city's economic policies, and have vowed the overthrow of the Count's regime to get it — or any of the half- dozen factions of the magicians and artificers struggling for control of the local Wizards Guild. Yes, dhar Ankhes is a city awash with intrigue, where an adventurer is well- advised to step cautiously — but it is also a city filled with lucrative opportunity for any man who can keep his eyes and ears open, his blade ready, and his mouth shut!
Within the Tyrant's Demesne is a complete campaign module, detailing the inhabitants, shops, and other places of interest in dhar Ankhes. It can be used independently or in conjunction with other Gamelords campaign packs, particularly City of the Sacred Flame, which describes the stronghold of dhar Ankhes' traditional nemesis, the barbarian tribesmen of Zal' Akhen. The module utilizes the Thieves Guild™ rules system, but is compatible with any major fantasy role playing system.
Within the Tyrant's Demesne includes a detailed city map, two complete introductory scenarios, several additional mini-scenarios and city encounter tables — enough material for months of adventuring. So, if it's cloak- and- dagger suspense you're after, then seek no further, effendi — dhar Ankhes is the place your campaign has been looking
for!"

Thieves' Guild 2
"Thieves' Guild 1 challenged fantasy gamers with a new kind of role-playing aid — a book of rules and adventures designed for a particular class: the maligned and misunderstood thief. Now, in Thieves' Guild 2, the tradition is continued — with additional rules and guidelines, and new adventures.
Roam the stone corridors in the burial vaults of the ancient city of Shale-Chuun. Match wits with the tomb designers of old to detect and disarm diabolically devious devices of doom (say that three times fast!). Leave with treasure worth a kingdom, or maybe you won't leave at all...
And ten highwaymen encounters, plus expanded rules for handling combat, magic, and hireling procurement, and much, much more..."
