City of Delights (AD&D: Al-Qadim Campaign) [BOX SET]
City of Delights is an accessory for the 2nd edition of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, published in 1993.
City of Delights describes Zakhara’s principal jewel, the Golden City of Huzuz – huge, filled with every imaginable item and service, and saturated with intrigue and mystery. Each of the 800,000 citizens has a story, such as: how the merchant Khwaja al-Danaf gained his fortune; how the Talking Bird and Singing Tree came to the garden in the Palace of the Enlightened Throne; and how the Caliph's elven concubine Halima gained a winged cat.
The book provides hints on what player characters (PCs) may want to do in Huzuz: An ethoist priest wants to preach in the great Golden Mosque, so the Mosque entry tells whom to talk to. A sha'ir wants to study with Adnan al-Raqi, Master of the Invisible, the Whisper that Thunders, so the book tells how to find his tower and how to become his apprentice. For the rogue, details are provided on sneaking into the Caliph's harem

Gets the fantastic, arabian-nights-esque feel of Huzuz down pretty damn well. There's a lot going on in the city, plot hooks and evil plots and intrigue and fantastic marketplace sights, with some wriggling room even for the player characters in spite of the traditional Forgotten Realms epic-level NPCs running around all over the place.
