The Legacy of Xchantharus

The road to Xchantharus has outlasted most who set out upon it. It begins at the foot of the Hellspires, mountains whose paths have taken countless lives, and climbs past wild men to a plateau of ice where the snow blinds and the yeti hunt. Beyond the mountains it goes down into a sweltering jungle. Two peoples live there, the Bwani and the Tech'opi, and in one valley, it is said, there are reptiles of immense size.

At the end is a city that was called Tinisbwana, where all the old world once came to trade. Its market lies smashed. Those who were its citizens shamble blindly through its streets, and over them, cackling, reigns a priest king who is a lich.
