About Thraldom

Thraldom is a small volcanic island off the coast of mysterious and deadly Chult in the world of the Forgotten Realms. The east end of the island is covered in dense jungle that hides the ruins of some long-forgotten fortress, now home to refugees from a far off isle. To the west rises the sleeping, snow-covered volcano Thraldom, which gives the island its name. Rumors abound of the lost riches of this tiny island and those who locate such hidden caches might find themselves as wealthy as dragons. But adventurers beware, for this land is not the peaceful paradise it might seem. Ensnaring vines, horrible diseases, and poisonous creatures abound. Many strange, twisted monsters call this land home, and the dangers do not end at the ground.

Deep beneath this beautiful island, in the vast caverns of the Underdark, live the insidious Drow. They have built a city from which they send forth constant patrols, always searching for something, though outsiders know not what. For Drow adventurers, this place, called Sel'Maerimydra, might be a safe haven for a time. The city boasts a hollowed out stalactite tavern called the Spider's Kiss where a weary traveler might refresh her body and rest her mind. Down in the city proper one can glimpse the twin stalagmites of the Academy, where young and old are trained in the ways of the Drow and magical aid may be acquired for a nominal fee. For the Lolthite faithful, there is a temple to the Spider Queen and a public altar where Her priestesses and followers leave offerings and seek aid from the clergy. Dissent lurks in the shadows of this great Lolthite city, though, in the form of a secret Vhaeraunite cabal.
