Classic: Fantasy: Tredroy (1989, 2006) focused on the city of Tredroy. The city is located at the juncture of three very different nations and has evolved an identity all its own. It's a place of sophistication, trade, diplomatic intrigue ... and sometimes knives in the night. It's a place where everyday behavior on the West Bank can be a serious offense on the East, and your only hope for freedom might be a dash across the hundred-yard bridge.
The only conversions needed are regarding the "Citizens of Tredroy" chapter and the "Trail of the Serpent" adventure.
General Description[]
Tredroy, the city of three laws, exists in Yrth. To the north, al-Wazif. To the southwest, al-Haz. And to the southeast, Cardiel. A stepping stone between three states, nestled along the Blueshoal and Lorian rivers.

| Population: 200,000 (Search +3) | Notes | ||
| Physical and Magical Environment | Arabic is both the majority language and the official language in West and North Tredroy. Anglish is the majority language in East Tredroy, but Church Latin is the official language. Most people also speak Patois Tredroyen, an Anglish/Arabic creole.
About 45% of the inhabitants live in North Tredroy; the rest are nearly evenly split between East and West Tredroy. Some 5% of the inhabitants belong to nonhuman races, from halflings to reptile men – but almost no elves. The city’s religious tolerance gives it normal sanctity for Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. Its economy is based on river trade (+2 to search rolls) and hiring out mercenaries (+2 to search rolls). Its Military Resources are comparatively low (CR1 for mobilization). Its rulers can turn to any two of the surrounding kingdoms for defense against the third (should the need arise). Thus, local armed forces are just enough to maintain local law and order, keep the trade routes safe, and stand off a siege while the diplomats win the war. However, in an emergency, the city’s mercenary forces would volunteer to defend it, increasing its Military Resources tenfold. | ||
