“A New Development”
Episode 1: Shadows of Blackport
March 15, 2025
The city of Blackport never truly sleeps. The smell of saltwater and damp cobblestones lingers in the narrow alleys, where cutpurses and whispered deals keep the underbelly thriving.
Korrin Vale pulls his hood lower as he leans against a crumbling brick wall, blending into the city's restless evening crowd. Somewhere in this tangle of streets lies the Thieves’ Guild’s hidden stronghold—if the rumors are true.
A few hours ago, a nervous tavern informant had let slip that their recruitment process was underway tonight. If Korrin was going to get inside, he needed to find the right contact, say the right words, and convince them he belonged.
A group of shadowy figures lingers near the docks, watching passersby with keen interest. Meanwhile, a dice game in a nearby alley seems far too quiet, as if something more than coin is being wagered. A third option presents itself as well—a half-drunk smuggler boasting about a big job
might know exactly where Korrin needs to be.
