Legions of Thyatis is a 32-page sourcebook for Basic Dungeons & Dragons released in August 1990.

Official synopsis[]

REVOLT OF THE GLADIATORS!

The corrupt Thyatian senator, Helenites Osteropolus, his latest scheme smashed by the adventurers and their gladiator allies, hatches a new plot to destroy the influence of the Order of the Sands (even, perhaps, to attack the Emperor himself!). Yet greater dangers lie ahead. If his plot succeeds, it will remove the guardians that protect the city from the creatures that lurk in the caverns and catacombs below. Can the players block his gambit? Will the wheels of justice grind small, or will the greasy palm of political corruption reach out and save the senator once again? YOU decide, in the chaotic swirl of the Thyatian capital's politics.

This module is designed especially for the DM who wants to sharpen his interactive skills.

- Recommended for four to six characters, levels 3-4 - Includes map of a realistic catacomb complex below Thyatis City - Unique role playing climax tests players' integrity and skill - New information on the military Legions of Thyatis

This module is a stand-alone sequel to DDA1: Arena of Thyatis.
