GR 02: Bluehook

A sociopathic assassin named Crucius, prone to random violence, sought to join the hierarchical structure of the Bluehook Assassin’s Guild in the city of Donlind in the region of Naodra. Once introduced to the Wolfden Guild hideout and sent on a test mission, Crucius was disposed of, having been found to be too “unbalanced” for the needs of the guild.
OUSIDE GAME-TIME: The game was set in the area of the Naodran cities in the time after the Frost War, when it was still under Karshan control. It was the first solo adventure attempted, judged to be somewhat of a failure. Scott had wanted the opportunity to play a “chaotic evil” character, apparently assuming there would be no social consequences for his actions. He was mistaken.
MEMORABLE MOMENTS: The tenor of the game was revealed early on, when Crucius on horseback rode down an innocent young boy in retribution for being turned away from the boy’s gypsy camp. The game went quickly and violently downhill from there.
SUBSEQUENT CONNECTIONS:  In early games, people in the region of Naodra (north of the Midrun Sea) were identified as "Karshans" -- even though the land of Karsha was later identified as being located on the southern side of the eastern Midrun Sea. This may have been a source of confusion for some who were not familiar with the geo-politics of the region. At the time of the Frost War, Karsha did control this area, based out of the Port of Sirioth near Donlind. Not long after the war ended, however, the area reverted back to local control as the Karshans were driven out.
