The Burning Page

Though The Great War did not permeate the reaches of the Underdark as it did the surface, the Orcish evocation spell ripped through the continents and caused reverberations which penetrated the deep the crust of Avlis and loosened the rocks and caverns, some of which had been sealed off by tightly fitting portals for ages. Unknown to the surface dwellers, this set off a renewed age of exploration below them where Demon Lords sought out and conquered new territories sometimes filled with ancient races. It was within a newly reopened enclave that the Demon Lord Teralatax, daughter of Alifanitax, stumbled upon an ancient library with tomes that seemed to date back to the Age of Gods. As a practitioner of magic and a prominent member of the old Black Order, Teralatax was elated and immediately fortified the area and concentrated her efforts on combing this treasure trove for secrets to the power of the gods. Initially, she was taken by the idea of finding the all powerful Black Dagger, however her efforts soon proved futile on that account. Instead, Teralatax encountered a reference in an old book that referred to the Age of Spirits and the inhabitants that roamed the land before The Negerai Prime infested it with her ancestral kind. Thus began an adventure that would outlive her by over a thousand years.
