A Shrine Beneath the Swamp

The Atal’ai sought a place to prepare Hakkar’s return and built their temple in the Swamp of Sorrows. Ysera answered the danger by sinking the sanctuary beneath the marsh and assigning green dragons to contain what remained.

The intervention did not end the cult. The drowned halls still sheltered its rituals, and the corruption reached the creatures meant to guard them. By the time adventurers entered the temple, Jammal’an’s followers and the afflicted dragons formed parts of the same crisis.

The Shade of Eranikus showed the cost to the guardians. The expedition could disrupt the sanctuary, but sinking a building had never been enough to erase the purpose for which it was built.
