Wow! We are 75% complete with #dungeon23! Three months to go! Here's the next amazing locale for diverse Advanced Fighting Fantasy 2E adventures:
The Free City of Thagwar
Southern fringe of the Carnelian Desert, The Demonic Plane of Rust
"The Free City of Thagwar is also known as the Primal City, as it is thought to have been the first metropolis that sprung up anywhere; whether it be on Titan or in the Pit. What caused the initial wave of Demons to flock to Thagwar's shadow-haunted avenues is now unknown, but the oldest continually inhabited place in the Macrocosmos is a gigantic sprawling cancerous-like growth, rising from its inceptive oasis among rusty dunes to engulf several nearby oases as well. Its architecture is fungal and organic-looking, its multitudinous quarters refuse-strewn and ruled over by rival cults, minor demon princelings, and the occasional lost demigod. There is thus no central authority here, and Thagwar represents chaos in the form of a city; brutal, uncaring, violent and unpredictable. Anything can happen in the Free City of Thagwar and frequently does!"
Vade Mecum Infernum by Aughm Lightchaser (p. 15)
The Free City of Thagwar (#1/31, #274/365)
Thagwar is a gargantuan infernal metropolis, a radiating spread of demonic buildings encompassing several oases, and abutting a series of jagged highland cliffs on the southern edge of the Carnelian Desert. Its streets are dusty with rust, and the debris and garbage of thousands of Demons, Undead, monsters, beasts and other alien intruders, living and dying among these roads and avenues for millenia. They say that if you have not visited Thagwar then you have not really lived, for to hurl yourself into the city at night is to embark on an adventure whose outcome you cannot predict, but hopefully will not prove fatal or worse!
Ruler: Multiple faction rulers to be detailed in subsequent posts.
Dominion Grade: Grade 12
Type: Enormous City

Description: As the so-called Free City, Thagwar bows down to no one overlord, but is instead riven by factions. These factions will be fully detailed in future posts, but encompass powerful Rust Demons, Venom Demons, emissaries of various Demon Princes (Myurr, Sith and Ishtra), and the cults and sects of many evil gods (and some actual demigods who dwell within the city). The troops listed above are split proportionally between the various factions depending on how powerful each faction is and which quarter of the city it governs.
