This is a collection of 11 short stories taking place in a shared-world (the same concept as Thieves' World). The action takes place in Liavek, a port city and local political power. The technological level is sixteenth century, with flintlock pistols a recent innovation and naval ships using a mixture of sail and oar. The magical level however is much higher.
