Red Thorn Guild/Map

Background (view)

The Red Thorn Guild is a guild of thieves known long and far throughout Ansalon as a guild to be feared. Their presence and power was first felt when the stones turned after the Cataclysm were still settling. They first were known to prey on travelers along the roads between Tarsis and Solace, but they have since become much more refined and civilized. A Red Thorn thief would never so much as be near a road heistnow..

It is rumored that recently the Red Thorns were involved in the theft of a rare and precious gem that was entrusted to the clerics of Tarsis, which the clerics were very proud and honored to be chosen to keep on behalf of its owner. The jewel is called the Tear of Mishakal, and a reward will be given to those who returns the artifact to the clerics of Tarsis.

Legend states that when the gods flung the world of Krynn into peril during the Cataclysm for the follies of man, the goddess of healing cried but a single tear. When the dragonlance was reforged and the dark army defeated by the companions, by the help of a tribal princess, the gods returned to the realm of mortals. When clerics once again arose to worship the goddess Mishakal they forged the gem in the hopes that it would remind them of the follies of the Kingpriest of Istar, and remind them never to make the mistakes that he made.

The Red Thorns had no care for the symbolism of the gem, only its value and power.

Recommended Levels (view)

The Red Thorns are a guild of great renown and are powerful thieves but are somewhat lacking in the ways of fighting skill. By what little is known of them from their myriad tales and legends, one would surmise that a low to mid level group [8-14] would have challenge inside the walls of the guild. However, because they are thieves, stealth and caution is highly recommended.

Location (view)

Peasants and miscreants of Tarsis say that the Red Thorn Guild is hidden deep within the safety of the abandoned sewer passages beneath Tarsis. Because of the relative lack of people going into the sewers, this is a rumor that can be easily believed and confirmed.
