City of Greyhawk

The Thieves Way

The Guild uses this path of travel to move people and items in and out of the city.  The path begins at Lantern Point in the Shacks, where a ferry moves between the Shacks and Far Side.  The Thieves Way takes an almost straight path of travel through the slums and ends at Redbuckle Alley.  

Redbuckle Alley is a dead end that meets the exterior walls of the old Wannos Estate. Long ago, the estate was constructed directly into the city's outside curtain wall. This was meant to be a cost-saving measure: The Wizard would pay for the upkeep of the wall in this section and provide guards and magic to protect it.  

Since the Wizard's death, the Estate has fallen into disrepair and neglect.  A rope ladder, hidden by an invisibility spell, allows guild members an easy way to climb up and over the exterior wall.  At least for now, the back wall of the empty Estate is not under guard.  This will certainly change in the event that the city anticipates an immediate threat of attack.  

The metal grate covering a large drain in the central courtyard of the Wannos Estate provides direct access to the tunnels and sewers that crisscross the Great Square, which the Estate borders. Once inside the tunnels, guild members can travel underground to the familiar vaults beneath the Thieves Quarter in the Old City.
