HISTORY AND BASIC DESCRIPTION OF THE FAIR CITY OF GILEAD

The city of Gilead is a bustling place of trade and commerce, prosperity and varied community. It is located somewhere on another plane, connected via portal to Oerth, but is not marked by any map, as it was founded by a thieve's guild, many years ago, as a then safe haven for them. The city has since then developed into a very large community, which has attracted many types, who now call this place home.


The city itself is setup in a elongated rectangle, encircled by a complete wall of stone, some 50 feet high. There are four large gates, at every corner, which lead out of Gilead, on a diagnol. These gates are guarded 24/7. Running along the entire wall, businesses and common housing are seen. From taverns to inns, magic shops to alchemist labs, there seems to be just about every type of shop/business, anyone could need. In the dead center of the city, a large structure is erected. This structure is set up in the style of a castle, and encloses a large grassy courtyard. The building is divided into four towers, that stand free from the ajoining structure's wall.

The four towers are designated by race, it would seem:

1. Dwarvin
2. Halfling
3. Elven
4. Human

Located in the center of this courtyard, a very large stone fountain. This fountain resembles a handsome looking male, that appears to look half pit fiend, with drow'en features, in his late 20's. He is in a standing position, a large weapon that appears to be a pole arm's length, with grip in the middle, and a sword like blade elongating from either end, with odd looking numbers encrusted along all the edgings, is seen in his left hand, resting at a slightly
tilted diagnol. The man is smiling, fangs are noticed, his appearance is intimidating, even in stone. Atop this man's shoulder, what looks to be a 10inch mouse, with rather lavish elongated ears, and fairy type wings. The fountain's pool shimmers, with many tossed in coins. Engraved upon a plaque, a message, on the fountain's ridge: "Snögard, great keeper of The Void, and savior of
Gilead". Another smaller plaque rests on the bicep of the stone man, near the mouse statue. It reads: "Master Etukey, Lord of Barter and Luck".

Just to the south of the fountain, a hidden trap door which leads down into a cavernous tunneled underground keep, can be found. This is highly boobytrapped, and if one is not a rogue, and of the city's guild, surely they wouldn't get farther than touching the door. Beneath the
courtyard, a vast network of small tunnels, human sized, leading to many small living areas, but all connecting into the main room, a vast banquet hall. Beneath the banquet hall, a well hidden, but rather large, treasure room, the guild's prize possessions, and mutual conquerings. Guarded by the likes of the unknown.

There are many grassy areas in gilead, with cobbled roads running through, that are somewhat small. Trees are scattered throughout the city, in small to medium patches. A single large white oak tree grows in the middle of the open market as well. Many robins live within this solitairey tree. A small river runs just west of the city.

Every race has seen Gilead at some point, and there is a constant flow of visitors. The place has been recently overrun with cats. But every race can possibly be found in this city, at some point in time.

((At this moment in time, the cats have populated the area, and conflict ensues. For any additional information or questions on available roles, or additional roles you'd wish to play, email thievenfroggy@hotmail.com ))
