The city of Four Rivers is the hub of trade and industry on the continent of Ouro. Built on the banks where the four major rivers merge, this city is a melting pot of cultures and commerce.
In this one-shot, you visit some of the colourful local stores and meet the influential wizard who can become a patron to the party should you wish to use this as a jumping-off point to a longer campaign.
In this one-shot the wizard offers the party a light quest in exchange for a treasure.
