Tempest Spine

The Tempest’s Spine Xen’drik’s northeast coast is guarded by the volcanic Tempest’s Spine - a mountain range known for its chaotic weather, flowing magma, and dangerous secrets. A combination of planar influence and storms sweeping off the Thunder Sea causes the region’s terrible weather. The rain that falls onto the high peaks feeds the surrounding rainforest, eventually draining into Dread Lake beyond. In truth, there are darker reasons for the tempest. It was here, in a hidden valley within the mountains, that the Qabalrin practiced their dark arts. When the necromantic elves were destroyed, the dragons bound the region’s weather in perpetuity to form the Ring of Storms.

Meanwhile, to the east, the crackling citadel of Genesine sought to harness the region’s chaos. The dragons laid waste to the city, tearing open a rift to the plane of Kythri that unpredictably transmuted much of the city. Beneath the mountains, bound in stone and magic wards, lie countless fiends from the Age of Demons. As the chaos above grows and the colony of Zantashk seeks to plunder the Spine, their days of waiting might just be over.
