LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!
Korvosa, the Jewel of Varisia, has long sparkled on the shore of Conqueror’s Bay. Established just over 300 years ago by Cheliax at the height of that empire’s expansion, the city now commands its own destiny. A line of Korvosan kings and queens emerged to rule the city, establishing an infamous seat of power — the Crimson Throne. Rulers have sat upon the Crimson Throne for more than a century, and the city has flourished; yet the monarchy always seems on the brink of disaster. The Crimson Throne is not a prize to be won — it is a curse. No monarch of Korvosa has died of old age, and none has produced an heir while ruling. Even though King Eodred II controls Korvosa more fully than any previous monarch, that control remains tenuous, and many secretly count the days until their latest king falls to what they call the Curse of the Crimson Throne.
But you have more pressing things to worry about, because you are one of Korvosa's Dark Champions. Heir of Blackjack's legend (the most famous folk-hero of the city) you took upon yourself to fight for the good and humble citizens of the city, taking your vigilante disguise by night and facing the evils of the city, while maintaining the secret to your friends and family.
But a big evil is awakening in the deeps of the city, and Korvosa's heroes will have to rise to face them, of perish with their metropolis.
About the campaign
I will DM the "Curse of the Crimson Throne" Adventure Path, with several modifications. No four "nobody's" saving the city, but five vigilantes of the city, experienced and brave, trying to save it from destruction.
Characters will be all vigilantes, and start at level 7.
So if you want to learn how to play, this is not the campaign for you. Not that I am looking for experts, but a first-timer will have a harder time.
Your character will be a hero of Korvosa, taking the heritage of Blackjack to defend the innocent and punish the guilty. Besides your secret identity you have a public one, a noble, a merchant, an artisan or a street madman, which also will help in your task. Tie your character to a district.
I don't flinch about "adult" - romantic themes.

Andras Teoss aka The Final Nail
