Temple of Sinking Waters
The caldera of Quiet Mountain is home to a sprawling temple complex built by some long-dead civilization. The lizardfolk of Big Bay Island have long used the site as their capital, naming it the Temple of Sinking Waters after the extinct volcano’s receding lakes. Only a small part of the temple is inhabited, while walls of rubble serve to keep at bay whatever strange things lurk in the shadowed depths.
The Lizard Queen rules her domain on Big Bay Island from a throne of giant reptile bones and other totemic trinkets. She is an old and powerful sorceress, and her people worship her as a god. However, the Lizard Queen is getting long in tooth and fears one of her many children might try to move along their succession. To prevent such an end, she has begun researching a means to gain immortality, or failing that, lichdom.
