Hello,
I was considering starting my Shackled City campaign in Sasserine. My logic being, if the characters are not from Cauldron, then my players can't pester me about what their characters know about the city and its history and politics. It will allow for more fun exploration of the city. But I can't seem to find a lot of good info on Sasserine, unless it is somewhere in the book that I haven't found yet...

Sasserine is one of the elements that have been intentionally left blank to allow DMs to insert the AP into their home campaigns - make of it what you will :-)

Perfect. I intend to do just that. Thought maybe I was missing something somewhere.

why not make them cauldronites? It makes your job as a GM easier. You can introduce a lot of locations and npc's beforehand. And it will give you the opertunity to introduce more (and a wirder variety of plot hooks.
In addition it makes the events in the story more personal. The PC's are more motivated and have more at stake.
I had my PC's start out as Citizens of Cauldron. They were so incensed by the abduction of children from the Orphanage that they started investigating the crime before ever even meeting a cleric of Cuthbert.

Good point. As an added incentive, I'm thinking of making one or more of the characters be former orphans from the orphanage -- the helpful hook to make it all seem more personal. Thanks for the input though. Hell, that's why I'm posting! Beer!
