The city of Hhoran contains a good mix of all the races - humans, elves, eladrin, halflings, dwarves, dragonborn, tieflings, orcs, kobolds, etc. Hhoran is also celebrated as a place of fair-mindedness and opportunity for all that does not discriminate against members of any humanoid race. But beneath the surface of Hhoran there are interracial problems that threaten to tear the city apart, or at least make some people moderately mad.
In recent days a human peacekeeper makes news by arresting an affluent elf over questionable reasons. Now the city's human and elf populations show signs of tension. A prominent human calls the elf a "forest monkey." The city's elected King Omaba makes comments that fan the flames rather than sooth them. A few days later the King decides to host an honest conversation about race over mugs of the finest dwarven ale - but not before the local Dwarves complain that the King is offering a brand of ale from another nation's dwarves.
As mediators, the player characters are invited to take part in the much anticipated conversation that has been coined the "Dwarven Ale Summit." But the heroes must be careful not to let their Con scores dwindle too much through over-consumption, else they drop out of the adventure! (There are no lethal combats in this module.)
Watch for a surprise appearance when the King's Viceroy shows up unannounced! For player characters level 3-6.
