Milles Colonnes de Desgard

Milles Colonnes de Desgard

Despite being the least aggressive of Thassilon's tyrants, the runelords of Haruka oversaw extensive building projects fueled by a level of slave labor unmatched elsewhere in the empire. Among these slave-wrought marvels lies Desgard's Thousand Columns, a vast field of massive towers in which the many runelords of sloth summoned, bound , and stored legions of outsiders. As each runelord sealed his or her own conjured warriors in unmarked edifices, memories of what previous runelords had stored gradually faded away. Toward the twilight of the Thassilonian empire , runelords found themselves binding armies as much to defend against the unknown thralls bound within their borders as to protect themselves from external factors.

Although Krune stored his fair share of extraplanar terrors in the columns, he secreted away an even more awful legacy: the command words that would revive him. As its members hasten to herald his return, the cult of Lissala has learned of the command words' existence as well as how to find them. Many of the cells operate independently, but many recently uncovered the significance of the so-called Thousandth Spire, believed to be the last of the towers sealed among Desgard's Thousand Columns. What few of the cells realize is that more than just the Pathfinders seek to arrest their recovery of the command words.

First among these is Krune himself, for while he might relish his return to power, he would loathe having to piece together a kingdom through his own effort. As a result , the runelord laid indiscriminate traps and guardians that would test the mettle of even his most dedicated servants; only those able to best his trials would be competent enough to prepare a kingdom ready-made for Krune's slothful enjoyment. Inadvertently serving his purposes is a loose coalition of metallic dragons that banded together at the fall of the Thassilonian empire to raze Xin-Haruka to the ground. Though tales of the coalition's deeds have faded into legend , the descendants still take turns keeping watch over the runelords' storage facility to ensure that no one unleashes a 10,000-year-gone terror.
