Overview
The low hills of these grassy plains are quiet here, though not eerily so. Small animals graze the grass, the sun and moon shine bright through most days and nights, and the wind often blows gently, unobstructed by walls for miles. Just beneath the surface however writhes a grotesque sight, a massive colony of man-sized centipedes lives in tight tunnels beneath the dirt, their colony’s tunnels extending for miles in all directions beneath most of this part of the plain and descending who-knows how deep.
Connections
- Severard of the Seven Circles, is responsible for the unnatural growth of the centipedes in the Tashtan Plains.
- Rhyond Deismirk and Nara Olmstead (based in 04.06) have had some success in an expedition to the Tashtan Plains and have some useful knowledge about it.
- Recently a pair of rich young citizens of the City of Shuttered Windows crashed their balloon here (03.08.01), after the tragic death of a valet they escaped and are now staying at Uncle Bertie’s and want to recover their gilded gondola.
Hooks
- Rumors of treasure in a centipede colony? But why would bugs have treasure?
- It’s been theorized that a forgotten relic of some ancient magic is responsible for the growth of these creatures. Perhaps it could be retrieved. If such a relic exists it is probably in Severard’s tower (13.08).
- Why does such a vast colony of bugs so rarely disturb the pristine surface of the plains?
