Ath Cliath: A 10th Century Viking/Celtic City Overview Book
Welcome to Ath Cliath, City of Gold. The Vikings have conquered the richest port in Hibernia, and the One-Eyed King sits on the Riverfleet Throne. He rules a city ever-richer, a place of swift minds and much wealth, and bustling business and intrigue, a bright beacon in a darkening world. What is King Sitric up to? He doubles the price of everything with his taxes; where does all that money go?
Despite the high prices, ships dock from everywhere in the known world and beyond, bringing the best of everything to the city. And the greatest inventors and crafters, the most tireless schemers, and the most successful mercantile traders. Ath Cliath is THE place to live, to find fortune—and danger, for sharks with human faces cruise among the hustling folk.
Walk the streets, and peer into every building. Detailed menus, prices of what you can buy, and the dirty secrets of every person you’ll meet, all detailed so that in this box is all you need to run a FATE OF THE NORNS campaign (or any game play set in a medieval-or-earlier fantasy city) for five years…or ten…or a lifetime. Ath Cliath comes alive; it’s all here! So come to the city of a thousand adventures, and make your fortune…or find your doom.
