Pavis
Threshold to Danger
Exploits along the River of Cradles
PAVIS is the first city base intended exclusively for RuneQuest players. Its neighborhood maps are indexed for the services adventurers need – armorers. temples, and so on. Gimpy’s, an excellent Inn, is fully described, as are city politico-religious groupings and prominent personalities.
Of the three scenarios, Welcome to the City situates the chararactes and introduces Lunar officialdom; tis multi-session scenario is matched by The Cradle, another multi-session adventure about the first giant cradle to appear in 700 years: characters battle mass-magics to try to stop or to help the cradle on its way – a glorious struggle, which will be sung for a hundred years. Burglary at Raus House is a more compact adventure, offering one or two hooks help gamemasters create many more episodes.
Background includes a chronology, historical essays, maps, and the cults of Flintnail, Lanbril, Zola Fel, and Pavis. There is an elaborate plan and description of the downriver Sun Dome temple complex as well.
