The Adventure Paths
The Adventure Paths were an ongoing and popular element of Dungeon magazine over its final 53 print issues. Shackled City made its debut in issue 97 and ran intermittently until its conclusion in issue 116. Eight months later, issue 124 marked the debut of the next Adventure Path, known as the Age of Worms, which ran every issue until 135. It contained some elements from the Shackled City (such as the Ebon Triad who were minor characters in the Cauldron saga) but stood on its own as a campaign.
The third Adventure Path, Savage Tide, ran from issue 139 of Dungeon until the magazine's final print issue (150). The first two adventures were set in the city of Sasserine, Cauldron's closest neighbor and trading partner, and the adventurers' patron, Lavinia Vanderboren, was a relative of one of the noble families from the Shackled City storyline.

Famous quotes containing the words adventure and/or paths:
“Typically, the hero of the fairy tale achieves a domestic, microcosmic triumph, and the hero of myth a world-historical, macrocosmic triumph. Whereas the former—the youngest or despised child who becomes the master of extraordinary powers—prevails over his personal oppressors, the latter brings back from his adventure the means for the regeneration of his society as a whole.”
—Joseph Campbell (1904–1987)
“If this be love, to clothe me with dark thoughts,
Haunting untrodden paths to wail apart;
My pleasures horror, music tragic notes,
Tears in mine eyes and sorrow at my heart.
If this be love, to live a living death,
Then do I love and draw this weary breath.”
—Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)
