References to Sasserine in Shackled City?

[Snoweel]

Can anyone point me to the Sasserine references in the SC hard Cover?

Since I'm building a campaign around ST (and the recent history of Cauldron), I'm excited about the tight synergy between the two.

I've seen a lot of Sasserine noble family names in the SCHC, both inside Cauldron and out (Knowlern and Lidu are prominent in Cauldron's satellite villages), as well as Sasserine's top Cuthbertine priest Ruphus Laro as a lowly ****kicker in SC, but what else is there? Some background elements seem to ring a bell but I just can't find them. The itch is killing me.

Much thanks in advance for any help.

Fair enough, I guess thanks doesn't pay the rent.

So I'll give you a hundred bucks instead. At least tell me which characters travel to Sasserine during SC.

Ta darlings.

I don't have the hardcover (or even all the SC issues!), but I know there are at least a couple of references in the 8th adventure (Foundations of Flame).

Lord Ankhin Taskerhill is noted to have contacts in Sasserine (and he is presumably related to Kalmadar Taskerhill from STAP, as well as other Sasserinian Taskerhills).

Lord Premiach and Lady Aeberrin Vanderboren are mentioned in "There is No Honor" to be the aunt and uncle of Lavinia and Vanthus Vanderboren.

Lady Ophellha Knowlern is doubtless part of the Knowlern family of Sasserine (who have been around those parts for around 300 years).

Will you be mailing me a check, or cash? ;)

Thanks mate!

I can't think of really many more references than what Cthuludrew mentions above. Early on in the AP I think Sasserine is referred to as "the capital" (at least in the magazines), which may imply that it has some sovereignty over Cauldron. OR may simply refer to it being a larger, more important city.

One thing I wonder about - given their relative position, and relationship to the rest of the world, it makes sense to me that Sasserine would have been settled / established first, and then settlers arrived at the Cauldron / Redgorge area some time later (via Sasserine). However, unless I'm mistaken (which is entirely possible), the magazines state that Sasserine was settled 700 years ago, and Cauldron was settled 800 years ago. Am I wrong on this?
