Description

Following "The Shattering", the world was left in ruin, and the
face of the lands changed forever. While most of the land was
restored by the infinite and his team of immortals, there were
some parts left untouched, as if unworthy or intentionally left
to ruins by the Gods.
                                                               .
Deep within the Blood Sea a portion of land remained tainted by
by the touch of the great evil that had threatened the world.
These ruins were once part of the mainland, and linked directly
to the various lands within the Realm. Now they float upon an
island, and the once populated areas that had surrounded them
before have since been abandoned, and renamed by the populous
that now controls this portion of the world.
                                                               .
Over time these Umbrageous Ruins and the surrounding lands have
evolved into one interactive family of ecosystems all working
together. A small portion of the island, now known as the
Isle of the Savrathi, was severed from the mainland and now
orbits it as if they were magically bound together.
                                                               .
Despite the islands isolated location, its blood-thirsty
inhabitants retain access to the realms through a series of
spatial rifts in the astral plan located in various regions.

Script in Madam Kahl's Spider web:

For three hundred years, we have searched for the Ark of the Covenant.
Always close, but forever far. The Dark One wants it. The Dark One needs
it. For with it, his magicks will be unstoppable. The Master will reward
us. Yes, he will reward us if we bring him the Ark. The Githyanki will
rise once again. For not even Gravoc will be able to stop the Dark One
once he has the Ark.

The Archbishop has tried to lead us into the Graveyard of the Gods. But we
know. We know of the evil beast that lurks in that sacred place. We will
not fall for the cleric's tricks. He can rot in his tomb. He and his foolish
knight will never make it back past the undead ghoul and the Ekimmu beast.
They were lucky to get through the first time. 

The Dark One suspects that the Archbishop off-loaded the Ark somewhere near
the Blood Sea. If the Master is right, then we must move quick. For the
pirates that travel those seas have an uncanny ability to locate valuable
treasures.
