A Final Roundup of Thagwar Locales

Court of the Gorgon Queen (#28/31, #301/365)

In a distant corner of the Quartz Quarter lies the Garden of Garjana, a Gorgon Queen of immense and disturbing powers, who sometimes ranges further afield in search of hidden lore or obscure treasures. It was Garjana for example, who petrified the Titan, Pallias the Protector, while both were attempt to wrest the Banner of the Titans from a treasure cache out in the wilderness of the Plane of Rust. Here in the garden, Garjana lives a more measured existence, waited upon by Medusae, Gorgons and Snake-Girls, until she feels the need to strike out again in search of adventure!

Catacombs of the Eye Tyrant (#29/31, #302/365)

Beneath the streets of the Mirror Quarter lie the catacombs of J'Hai the Watching Tyrant, a winding, curving series of tunnels arranged in great circling loops and spirals. Patrolled at all times by Eye Stingers, Diadrones, Walking Mouths, and others, the catacombs open up into a circular chamber that is the domain of J'Hai itself, a humongous spherical green-scaled spheroid creature, floating in the air, with a single gigantic eye. The Eye of J'Hai is reputed to possess powerful magic abilities; agents of the Moth Goddess of Ymphos are currently attempting to find an entrance to the catacombs in order to obtain it and free their deity from her captivity.

Crypt of the Snakespawn Warriors (#30/31, #303/365)

This black basalt pyramid in the fog-haunted depths of the Mist Quarter is home to the Thirteen Apostles of Xiarga, Chaos-cursed SNAKESPAWN warriors with 1-3 mutations each, entombed within crystal eggs, waiting to be awoken by their followers on Titan and summoned to deal death and destruction to the enemies of their faith. This is currently unlikely, as the priesthoods of the Caarth snake people are engaged in a low-level civil war among themselves for primacy, and the followers of Xiarga are fairly low on the totem-pole compared to other, greater, sects. Watching over the Thirteen Apostles are 2-12 mutated Great Serpents, who are in turn fed by 3-18 snake-headed BEAST DEMON acolytes, collecting tithes of gold and fresh meat from the few Thagwar faithful to maintain this silent shrine.

Cell of Arzochollien Resistance (#31/31, #304/365)

The Order of Arzochollies is dedicated to the fight against Evil, and in recent times, possibly best known among those in the know for the battle against Ar Gadayon of the Tower of Hades led by the Dwarf, Belkor of Salamonis. However, the Order has contacts far beyond Titan itself, and here, holed up in a safe-house on Thagwar, are 2-7 legendary Dwarf Heroes, led by Kazek Steelbeard of Fangthane, as well as 2-7 TITANS, whose mission is to find the kidnapped Maker God Bisu/Verlang, and free them from demonic captivity!
