The Stygian Aerie Approach



Centuries ago, the Zeraphi abandoned their frail, mortal bodies for forms of pure energy, achieving effective immortality. As each Zeraphi tired of physicality, he journeyed to the sacred Underworld, where his body would be converted, and his essence encased in alchemically-treated wrappings. When all of the Zeraphi had been rendered immortal, they abandoned the Underworld to the shifting sands.

Now, the ancient facility is the lair of various desert beasts—the most fearsome of which is the mighty Manticore. The Manticore has claimed the ruin's deepest reaches as its shadowy domain, an underground aerie from which it periodically emerges to hunt, high over the sands of the Ossean Wastes, striking terror into Zeraphi and Ezrohir alike.
