Magnimar Adventures

[OmegaZ]

I've been reading through the Magnimar section in The Skinsaw Murders and I want to run an adventure there. Has anyone run a game in the City of Monuments? What kind of stuff did you do?

Some ideas I've been thinking:
-Fight breaks out between rival cults at the Arvensoar. Turns out it was orchestrated by cultists of the Horseman of War.

-A young diviner claims to have been contacted by the oracular water spirit in the Seerspring Garden. A few days later, the girl goes missing and the Stone of the Seers magic school hires the PC's to investigate.

-The various criminal elements are rigging the games at the Serpent's Run. Jorston "Axetongue" Droaeb suspects the PC's are behind it because of their connection to a recently killed gladiator. Axetongue accuses the PC's, who must find the real criminals or be thrown in prison.

-The two retired Pathfinders, Sir Canayven and Sheila Heidmarch have been robbed! The PC's must track down the thieves and return all of the stolen treasures, including a very dangerous funeral mask from Nidal.

I am preparing to run a game in Magnimar. I am going to run a factional game. What I am doing is figuring out where the seven families get their money from and what they need to do in order to expand. The shipyards seem like a good place to start. There's a limit to growth there. I am going to run Magnimar like Verona from Romeo and Juliet ie feuding houses. Secret wars need secret agents. I am also going to assign each of the seven houses turf within the city.
