Silverton was a town in northwestern Allansia, some fifty miles (eighty kilometres) east-south-east of Port Blacksand, at a crossroads in the trading routes of the region.
Description[]
The town had prospered as a result of the trade in herbs, spices, silks, metalware and foodstuffs which pass through it, and its wealth is apparent in the ornate buildings and well-dressed people which characterise the town.[1]

- ↑ City of Thieves - Background; it is hinted in Deathtrap Dungeon that the events described in City of Thieves occur shortly before it (Deathtrap Dungeon - Background). Since Deathtrap Dungeon can be dated to the 1st of Winds, 283 AC (Deathtrap Dungeon - 400; Titan - The Fighting Fantasy World - 104/242; Trial of Champions - Background), it follows that City of Thieves occurred in late 282 AC or early 283 AC.
