 The majority of the citizens of Reumix are the lizardfolk descendants of the Verdant Empire. While there have been advances in equality over the centuries, Reumix suffers from a history of racism and oppression of these folk. Indigenous lizardfolk were once used as slave labor by the [[dragonborn]] who led the effort to settle this area.
-The most powerful heroes of Reumix have defended their city in the past, fighting off dragons, cultists, and arch liches. Now, an ancient evil, uncovered in careless haste to recover magical items and treasure hidden in the undercity, has escaped to the desert [[Plaguelands]]. There, [[Morlag]] grows in power as undead flock to his arcane control and the Plaguelords struggle to compete.

+==== A Message from Magister Sorelia Delanare ====
+Your Eminence, King Raposa,
+I apologize sincerely that this message must be written rather than spoken about in person, but my services are required at the point of the threat. It is with the utmost urgency that I report something to you discovered within the bowels of Reumix.
+The catacombs beneath the city contained a well that reaches deep into the void below, and at its mouth was a massive Amethyst gem used as an arcane conduit to bind a nightmarish fiend within, preventing escape. Minions of this fiend managed to sunder the well, dispelling the magic binding the gem and the would-be prison below. The creature has escaped. The other Ministers and I were able to bloody the enormous creature, but we were too weak to stop him from escaping, and we had need to dispatch his remaining allies to assure the city’s immediate safety.
+I returned to the archives to search for whatever I could about this well and happened upon what are frustratingly scarce records about a “hasty yet necessary” binding ritual when this fiend first threatened Reumix. It is mentioned that the Arcanists of the time discovered a potent source of power beneath the city, and through their combined efforts, were able to siphon and transfer power from this “source” to the amethyst gem and bind this fiend within the well. I have conferred with the Arcano and through magical scrying we have found the power source….it is a Tanari Demon. When the well was sundered, this beast was also unleashed, and we believe he means to take his revenge. It is essential that we muster our forces and meet this demon, as I believe he is the most immediate threat. We must also be diligent about the other fiend as well, and pray we are not met at two fronts.
+Magister Sorelia Delanare
