From publisher blurb:
Jonril, Gateway to the Sunken Lands is a 140 page Gamesmaster’s aid providing a fully populated urban environment for running city adventures. It is system independent and while designed for fantasy role playing games it’s usable wherever human population centers are found. Despite being designed with our companion products in mind (e.g. Heart Of The Sunken Lands, Tulan of the Isles, Carse, and Cities), Jonril can be dropped into an existing campaign with minimal effort or become the hub of a whole new campaign.
Jonril is a bustling frontier city that controls access to the Sunken Lands and its riches. It provides an ideal place to outfit an expedition or regroup after a perilous journey. Of course, wherever there are fortunes to be made, there will be fierce competition and those who would prey on the good fortunes of others. Characters can adventure in town, immerse themselves in the rivalry over control of trade, determine new uses of rare and bizarre items found in the Sunken Lands, or turn to banditry ambushing rich caravans. Whatever path your characters choose to follow, Jonril will be a notable backdrop for their adventure.
Jonril, Gateway to the Sunken Lands, is composed of a variety of different sections as listed below:
