The crumbling walls of Bergholt sits astride a transhipment point between the far flung realms of the east and west. A backwash, Bergholt is a town of simple folk; folk who consider themselves free of the chaos of the world. This myth rests well for those weary travelers seeking respite from the horrors of the trail and the vile intrigues of the world at large.

But here you will find no innocence, for foul machinations are afoot, corruption and villainous deeds fester beneath the silken myth of Bergholt's purity. Seek to comprehend a panoply of Bergholt's denizens, their schemes and machinations while pursuing a common thief and you will learn that behind every closed door is a secret and beneath every cloak a dagger.

It is a source book for adventures set in the city of Bergholt and introduces the first part of an intriguing adventure set in the same. Designed for 4-6 characters of levels 5-7.
