The City of Skulls is a Dungeons & Dragons adventure module set in the game's World of Greyhawk campaign setting. Written for second edition AD&D, it was the sixth 'reference' module for Greyhawk (WGR6) and was published by TSR in 1993.
The City of Skulls was written by Carl Sargent with cover art by Jeff Easley and interior art by Eric Hotz.
The publication was designed for use with the From the Ashes boxed set and Sargent's sourcebooks Iuz the Evil and The Marklands. None of these are strictly necessary for use of the module, however.
Plot
The adventure takes place in the Kingdom of Furyondy and the Empire of Iuz following the Greyhawk Wars. The city referenced in the book's title is Dorakaa, the capital of Iuz's empire.
Reception
The City of Skulls was ranked the 26th greatest Dungeons & Dragons adventure of all time by Dungeon magazine in 2004, on the 30th anniversary of the Dungeons & Dragons game.
