[h1]Sneak Peek at the IC![/h1] [center][h1]Welcome to Bridgewater[/h1][/center] [center][img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v252/HlySd/Bridgewater_zpshliaukyz.jpg[/img][/center] [B]Bridgewater[/B] is a unique town where the stores, homes, and castle are built over [B]The River Joy[/B]. The town is economically rich and is one of the major trade ports in [B]Rin[/B]. The best way to reach Bridgewater is of course by boat. Boat is also the best way to leave. Many luxuries, oddities, and expensive niceties can be found in Bridgewater, and many a gold coin can easily be lost in such a place, whispering temptations from its every shadow and alley. There is a major Bridge Rat problem. The massive rats are responsible for consuming majority of the cities trash, while also leaving their plague-filled feces all over. The sick crowd the alleys, while the rich live above them on the bridges. Crime lurks beneath the feet of many. The smuggling of illegal narcotics are moved across ship, into the sewers, and into the hands of the wealthy. It is commonly sold to brothels to increase business. A prominent gang known simply as the [B]Bridge Lords[/B] occupy Bridgewater and claim it as their territory. The gang has many members under the bridge, and have exploited the struggle felt by those who live in the ghetto. The Bridge Lords are run by [URL=http://123kinect.com/wp-content/gallery/thief/thief-preview-01.jpg][B]Jack Johnson[/B][/URL].

Like a beast stirred from its sleep, if you're seeking chaos, then the higher the moon, the greater the activity. Bar fights are a prevalent occurrence. Every now and then, some mercenary becomes sore after losing in a game of cards. The piano rolls no matter if the place were burning down. They say the pianist will burn down with it before he stops getting tips. The ale flows like the River Joy and the women...heavens, the women! The tavern is stocked full of everything. [B]Juicy Girls[/B] They are quite beautiful and they'll feed you endless mugs of ale just to take you to bed and rob you blind. Traveler be warned! They're the tavern's best business.

Whoever decides to be the party leader must choose to pick who they want to go. Meanwhile, those not on quest can partake in other quests and shenanigans.
