The Journal of Zong-Tossu, Entry 8 - The Island of the Pariahs

Written by Azog the Defiler and Adam Cieszlak, and first published on 2024-03-31

This is the journal of Zong-Tossu, a master ghav-urath (life-shaper) from the Rhul-thaun capital of Thamasku. Zong-Tossu was sent by the har-etuil (judgment-makers) along with a detachment of junior life-shapers and lawkeepers to investigate a mysterious ring of standing stones and the strange creatures said to occasionally appear within. The expeditionary force was accompanied by a thri-kreen emissary known as Cho’ka.

Having crossed the Predator Sea - one of the shallow seas of Guthay - Zong-Tossu, the surviving members of his group, and their chitine captors float just offshore of the Island of the Pariahs.
