Lizardfolk Village

A small lizardfolk settlement in a clearing within the Pink Swamps, now destroyed. The party found smashed crates, burned huts, and scattered bodies — rigid, a few days dead. Some had fallen to blades, others to magic, and a few had been brutalized with a savagery beyond anything previously encountered.

The attack was carried out by the Cult of the Whispering Stars. It was not a battle between equals — it was an unprovoked slaughter against people who never saw it coming. Tracks and drag marks on the north edge showed hostages had been taken to a second clearing nearby, where cultists were refining crystals underground.

The village's leader, Kessara, survived as a prisoner. She now leads what remains of the tribe from N.O.D.E. camp.
