Once apon a time a nation decided to end the threat of the tarrasque once and for all. An army was assembled, led by the greatest heroes of the age. Most importantly, a number of powerful magical weapons were created for the battle. The monster was lured into a tight canyon and the battle began.

At terrible cost, the tarrasque was defeated. But not slain. It was impaled by fourteen Immovable Harpoons, each attached to a thick adamantine chain sunk deep into the canyon walls by magic. The tarrasque was restrained.

A fortress was built around the tarrasque, to watch over it. Every day it's watchers hack away at the tarrasque with powerful magic weapons to keep it weakened in case of escape. Even so, there are casualties as they misjudge its reach, or as it's angry thrashing causes rockfalls.

Of course, being a powerful magical crearture, the tarrasque's blood, flesh and other body parts have certain useful properties. A side effect of keeping the tarrasque imprisoned like this was a neverending supply of powerful magical components. A city grew up around the fortress to house the various wizards, scholars and alchemists that came to exploit the tarrasque's bounty. Eventually, it was almost as if the neverending stream of tarrasque blood, flesh and bone was more important than imprisoning the beast itself.

Crime in the city is rampant, and gangs fight a running war with the city's Boneguard. It will take bold steps by the city's criminal element to further their ends.

The players will be members of a small gang in the city, attempting to improve their standing amongst the city's criminal element.
