After a smooth sail from Korthos Island, players disembark to find themselves standing on a dock beneath a bustling city. Dungeonraider remembers the first time he stood there.

After thirty years of playing pen and paper adventures and having to use my imagination to create scenes like this, seeing it with my own eyes took my breath away.

Standing at the foot of a grand tower, new adventurers often ask themselves, "What do I do now." The answer is simple: your options are virtually endless.

Take a moment to explore. Enjoy the sights (has that man fishing off the dock caught anything? Let's go ask him) and sounds (tooting barge horns, busy overhead cargo cranes; gnomish, of course).

Follow the dock to the city and you'll see Baudry Cartamon. Speak with him and he'll not only offer you some work, but he'll give you a storage bag. There is a small tavern up some stairs nearby, and on the way you can speak with Fitzpat the Fence to acquire a gem bag.

These storage bags are crucial gear you'll need to carry the many collectables and gems you'll find in your adventures in Stormreach and beyond.
