12.2.9.14 THE EMERALD ENCLAVE

Deep beneath the Balach Swamp, below the place where Great Muud Himself is buried, there lies a seemingly deserted place known as the Emerald Enclave. Built - as many things were during the Vernal Wars - by a number of supplicants of Vestera, the Dreamer, the Enclave's purpose was to house a construct known as the Aegis of Vestera.

For centuries the Aegis of Vestera has served its purpose: to keep the dreams of the Sleeping Child safe as she serves the world for all eternity by keeping Great Muud sleeping beneath the earth. To offer her a chance of happiness even after tragedy and death. Yet at times the Aegis still falters in power, and travellers must be called upon to assist, lest the innocent Vernal Goddess suffer at the hands of Great Muud's nightmares.
