info NOTES:     - NewDark 1.22 is required! Use FMSel to play rather than DarkLoader.
- Please note that this mission is resource heavy with 2,500+ polygons in view in some areas + heavy weather effects! Expect poor performance on slow machines!
- New Mantling is more than recommended! Remember that you can mantle on objects, and some objects can be climbed on as well.
- Enable Weather and Fogging, it's half of the mission!
- For obvious reasons it is recommended you play this FM in dark conditions. This is a major part of the experience.
- Please avoid playing this mission with any HD packs such as Thief Gold HD. This mission was made specifically with the vanilla experience in mind and with vanilla texture combinations. I will not provide support in case of conflicts, you are warned.
- Compared to my previous efforts, this FM features a much more obscure and open Thieves' Highway, so be prepared for some heavy exploration.
- Make sure to read everything you come across, hints and plot elements may be written somewhere.
- Higher difficulty means less starting gear, less money in the loadout store, less equipment to be found, a higher loot goal and more opponents. The main objective remains the same, but an extra objective is added on Hard/Expert.

Briefing

"There was a time when thieves and murderers strived as darkness ruled;
The heathens slept, dreaming their heretical way of life would last forever.
But then came the Master Builder, and with Him the light of justice,
And the miscreants were cast down to the Earth by his Holy Judgment.

-- The Book of the Stone"

"The high plazas of Stonemarket call me tonight, whispering a sweet lullaby of dark smoke
and grinding machinery to my ears. It was not long ago I swiped a magical relic from my
old friends the Keepers, but this time is now over, and life resumed its course. I am, again,
low on funds, and not in the best shape: keeping my network of associates was hard enough,
but I suspect one of those backstabbing bastards had the nerve to rat me out to the Hammers,
and a swarm of fanatics came to bash the door of my hideout. Luckily for me I managed to get
out, but in the commotion I forgot to take some of my equipment with me; most notably my
climbing gear. I can't risk going back to South Quarter, not with all the activity down there.
I guess I'll have to borrow some ropes on my way because I'll need them if I want to get the
piece I'm being commissioned for. Not to mention my usual supplier won a trip to Cragscleft
recently.

I got tonight's job mostly by accident: as I was pawning off some items a greasy old
beggar approached me, introducing himself as Cutty. Beneath all the grime on his clothes
and his crude way of talking you could tell he was someone very clever and particularly
methodical, and I was impressed to say the least. No one would ever suspect that tramp,
perfectly blending in The City's finest populace of being one of the most famous fences
in town. I introduced myself and he was mildly amused... I could see he wasn't convinced
I was the one who sacked Beric's manor and pulled off so many daring jobs, so he offered
me a job as a test: my goal tonight is very simple; I am to steal a precious opal called
Moon Tear from Lord Monsegur, the new Warden of Stonemarket. Cutty did not exactly tell
me why he wanted this opal in particular, but he is ready to pay me quite a sum if I
return the opal to him, and will consider offering me prime jobs, the kind only real
professionals get and with the promise of reliable funds. On other occasions I would
have declined the offer; I prefer to stay away from these Wardens as much as I can, but
the prospect of working with a person of his reputation is not something you can refuse,
and Stonemarket is a rather wealthy district with all these thieving merchants and fat
nobles around... It's just too good to resist!

I will enter through Iron Gate when lights will dim. It's a cold and rainy night so I doubt
I'll find many people out in the streets. From there I will need to proceed to Monsegur's
manor that's located north of the Hammerite clocktower. I know Stonemarket has been the
theatre of various thefts lately so I imagine the district will be on watch during the night,
with guards ready to arrest unlawful interlopers, and Monsegur's manor will most likely be
well protected. My first goal will be to find some ropes. One of my associates is ready to
give me a potential tip... but as always, it comes at a price. Or I could always pay the
merchants a little visit to see if they have some wares for a taffer like me.

Time to go.

Scooby    April 25, 2025, 5:46 a.m.

Hey Y'all, Scooby here with a quick guide to experiencing this mission in its all its glory with OpenAL EAX enabled. When playing this mission through all versions of the mod loader FMselect with EAX enabled, an audio bug occurs with the rain sound effects making the rain cut in and out very loudly. I believe this has something to do with the au...

andrianto80    Dec. 10, 2024, 6:36 p.m.

this city ​​covered in rain is easy to explore, there is a flowing river around this city , some areas can be reached via the river. for amateur Thief players, the river is useful for drowning foes who knocked out by blackjack, nice. it's very fun playing this Fan mission. don't forget playing the sequel, The Chalice of Souls.

Poorman    Nov. 1, 2024, 6:17 p.m.

By well designed, I don't just mean gameplay and atmosphere, (both of which are very well done), I loved the way the mission progresses. I started off looking up at the chains and gargoyles, thinking how do I get up there? Hours later I'm looking down at the chains and gargoyles thinking now I've got to get down. The verticality will come, just ...

Danman7    May 8, 2024, 10:25 p.m.

I was only playing T2 mission up until I saw some screenshots and a video of this one. Skacky has created or participated in some of the best Thief projects, including The Dark Parade and Into The Odd, to which this missions connects if you read the readables.

I'm big on atmosphere and the way the rain is portrayed here just makes me want to ...

andyln    Nov. 26, 2023, 7:32 p.m.

Finally got to play this classic, and considering its status among the fans, gotta admit I was a little bit disappointed.
I was expecting something to the tune of Sound of a Burrick in a Room - grand, open city with abundant gameplay choices and increased emphasis on the vertical, but instead it plays closer to Rose Garden - being caught in a l...

taffer-kun    Oct. 23, 2023, 5:17 p.m.

Maybe it won't satisfy an average rooftopper, but it has some of the tallest roofs among fan missions. Thick rainy atmosphere compliments gothic architecture. The only thing I'm puzzled by is - why there are giant chains that connect buildings? Joking aside, it's one of the most popular and beloved FMs out there, so it's a good start for any new...

Wastelander    Nov. 29, 2022, 2:48 a.m.

I'll have to get it out of the way - I love this mission. While it has been some time (9 months or so) since I played it, its' image remains vividly in my head. It has climbed up to my top5, maybe top3 FMs of all time, and I have been playing these for around 18 years now, if that's saying something.

The heavy, rain - soaked atmosphere of ska...

Matt    June 7, 2022, 10:58 p.m.

Endless Rain is one of those fan missions that A, is an undoubted fan favorite - for a good reason; and B, puts the city maps of the original missions to shame.

What you get here is most of the time "exactly" what you'd expect from a well crafted city mission - but the more interesting aspect of Endless Rain is it can sometimes surprise you a...
