But these are less "cavern" and more temple-like. The halls they now lurk are shrines built into the rocks of the ravine in reverence of the Demon Prince Orcus! Desperate and alone Imnar and Minsore make there way through the bowels of Chaos. Having just escaped the clutches of "Goy'az" a medusa princess, the last remaining Goblin and Gnoll in the realm aid and revive the only survivor of the stone-gaze torture - a Cleric of Tiamat, Sister Kava Jadescale... With the echo chants "ORCUS IS!! ORCUS IS!!" of the undead horde of the Chaos Cults of the Demon Prince somewhere in the temples beyond, the martyrs rush back to the Crypts of Orcus' Anti-Paladins to hopefully find equipment for the Dragonborn priestess... <br> [[Timeline of the Caves of Chaos Tragedy & Avengence]] </th> |

A land where the "Villains" live in wooden boxes and feed on fields of tended plants. If only they could seek out others of their race that myth and rumor tell exist far far beyond the ends of the Realm, beyond the misty mountains tops... But to do so they must first make their way from the Caves to gain power, to gain wealth, to gain freedom from the Villains that seek their hide. | ||
