Blight-scale Hold

The deep hum of scales rubbing against stone echoes through the sulfur-stained halls.

24 rooms✦lair✦hard

A humid subterranean complex reclaimed by a cult of serpent-worshipers and their naga master. The walls are slick with moisture, and the air is thick with the scent of chlorine and decay.

“

The temperature is a constant, stifling 85 degrees with 90 percent humidity. Bioluminescent moss provides dim green lighting, while the distant sound of hissing and bubbling vats creates a relentless white noise.

☠ Threat

Malakor the Corruptor, a Spirit Naga obsessed with evolution, who seeks to infuse his followers with the essence of ancient drakes. He is cunning, paranoid, and treats the entire dungeon as a living extension of his own body.

History

Originally an outpost for a long-lost empire, the hold was rediscovered by the Spirit Naga Malakor. Malakor converted the ruins into a hatchery for hybrid abominations, drawing power from a localized rift to the Elemental Plane of Earth. For decades, the naga has conducted gruesome biological experiments here to build an army.
