Hanse Davion and Melissa Steiner have united two Great Houses of the Inner Sphere in a marriage that suddenly upsets the balance of power among the stars. Though some hope this may bring an end to centuries of war, Maximilian Liao of the Capellan Confederation has enlisted the aid of two highly placed Davion traitors to destroy Hanse Davion and the Federated Suns from both within and without. But in the distant star chambers of the Capellan March and Draconis Combine, the Warlords of Maximilian Liao are honoring a different and more deadly vow: to wage an unholy war that threatens to rip asunder the vulnerable worlds of the Federated Suns. As Davion 'Mech commander Andrew Redburn and his mercenaries streak into battle, an explosive clash of metal and men signals the return of a formidable foe. Interstellar legend Yorinaga Kurita has returned to stake his claim as the most bloodthirsty warrior of all. For both men it is do-or-die combat that could ensure the triumph of a glorious new alliance -- or result in its total annihilation.

You're tough - an experienced adventurer who has returned from countless dark expeditions. But tonight you overindulged at the Red Guardian Inn, a local tavern in Gull, that place known as The City of Terrors. As you left the inn, you were taken by surprise and overpowered by ruffians even stronger than yourself. But just as suddenly, your attackers were surprised by the local constabulary! To hide the evidence, the scoundrels dumped you unceremoniously down a sewer drain . . . down into the Sewers of Oblivion With the aid of a small, demonic boatman, it's up to you to find a way out. This solitaire takes place beneath the City of Terrors, but is not directly connected with that solitaire adventure. Sewers of Oblivion is not for novice adventurers - instead, characters up to 7th level, with as many as 425 combat adds, will find a challenge or two within. However, less mighty characters (150-300 combat adds) will find a more exciting adventure, and greater rewards in the end.

"Red Circle... Just hearing the name sends a chill down your spine. No one is quite certain why these normally friendly, tribal nomads have become savage raiders, but the bloody evidence of their marauding can be seen throughout the region. This would not normally disturb you, but your wanderings have drawn you into the besieged holding of Baron Valdemar. The Baron doesn't seem to be that bad a sort, but the folks in his employ lack certain manners. The Baron makes you an offer: eliminate the raiders, and he'll make you richer than you could possibly imagine. Sound too good to be true? It probably is. Though the Baron forgets to mention it, you'll soon discover his offer has a number of "fine print" clauses that spell danger for any adventurer foolish enough to accept it. The Baron doesn't really worry about that, though, because your only alternative to accepting his offer is death. But who wants to live forever, anyway? If you do, you'd best keep away from the... RED CIRCLE. This solitaire adventure is suitable for individual humanoid adventurers of any level, with no more than 60 personal adds. It is not meant to be read through like a book - that will spoil the adventure. Read each paragraph only when you are instructed to do so."
