The Journal of Zong-Tossu, Entry 6 - Beneath the Crimson Canopy

Written by Azog the Defiler and Adam Cieszlak, and first published on 2023-10-08

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.

After avoiding the striped predators, only to encounter the terrible thundering beast that had savaged Tr’Shadai’s small party, Zong-Tossu, his group, and their spider-folk captors find themselves hiding from the massive beast in the forests of Guthay.
